Craft South Africa - Susan Sellschop, Wendy Goldblatt, Doreen Hemp

In an African context, there is really no distinction between 'craft' and 'art'.

Craft South Africa is a visual celebration of South Africa' extraordinary wealth of handmade objects and the people who craft them. From elegant traditional water-storage pots made in rural areas to sophisticated silver jewellery fashioned in urban studios, from headdresses that have adorned Zulu maidens for over a century to contemporary tapestries that explore new materials such as safety pins, the tradition of inspired craft remains a vita expression of the communal nature of South African society.

The authors, all experts in the field of South African craft, develop three themes:
    Traditional
    Transitional
    Contemporary
Exploring, observing, the function and origins, techniques, materials and aesthetic value of designs of objects.
