The much-anticipated annual Christmas Exhibition showcasing
the handmade beadwork, embroidery, telephone wire, clay and wood decorations of
the African Art Centre is now up and running.
This exhibition fulfills the Centre’s mission to facilitate innovative
products through creative skills development initiatives which enable local
crafters to generate sustainable income through their art.
This year the Centre presents exciting new work by young
creatives currently being trained through the African Art Centre’s outreach
Velobala Jewellery Design classes. The telephone wire decorations will be
available alongside the beaded, embroidered and wood decorations produced by
well-known African Art Centre crafters.
A novel feature at this year’s exhibition are uniquely
African-designed beach towels, the result of a partnership between Mr Price
Home and four African Art Centre artists.
The exhibition runs until December 24 at the African Art
Centre, 94 Florida Road, Morningside. For more information, contact 031 303
