My favorite crafters – Merry Go Round

Next to my spot at the Neighbourgoods Market there is a shop that showcases ceramic artworks and along with starting the morning with freshly baked croissant, I must stroll through it. Clementina Van Der Walt, the shop owner, is one of favourite crafters and even if the work on the shelves is the same, I always find it amazingly inspirational (and P.S. she has a great blog too).

I love the organic lines of Clementina’s work – There is a peace that can be found in it.

Clementina’s inspiration is West African textile designs and the African landscape. Perhaps that is what I love most about her work – the sense of Africa transcends through her designs.

One day when I am big (hint hint, Wedding Register Idea) I would love to own a Clementina bowl and a Hennie Meyer vase (or in the correct description term: vessel).

There is such a fun and quirky element to his designs that it is hard not to fall in love with them.

    I love Clementina’s black and white collections. The first vessel shown by Hennie Meyer reminds me of toucans, and the second looks like they are dancing! Just delightful!
