Supporting local art and craft will not only give a greater appreciation for art in Southern Africa, but will also provide a much needed income to the artists and their families. These quirky pieces originate from Cape Town, South Africa. The pieces are made from mixed metals, some of which are recycled. The pieces are formed by using a cast. Once the molded item has been made, the rough item is cooled, and then passed down the production line to the team of polishers. Here each piece is individually cleaned and checked for blemishes. Once the products have passed all the quality standards, they are assembled by hand by a group of ladies. Through each purchase you will be creating encouragement of the preservation of culture and alleviating poverty.
