Artist Statement:
In 1999, I started Ncedisizwe
Ceramic Project with three
other artists, A. Dyalvane, M.
Fani and S. Siboma. Our aim
was to address the
unemployment issue by trying
to find a way to train and
empower youth and women. We
hoped to share with others the
skills we had been taught. We
felt that by teaching other
people, the project would
benefit because we would find
new talent, who could produce
excellent functional pieces as
well as art masterpieces.
Currently, we have three
artists under our wings and
still strive to breed other
artists from the community.
We are artists who love
animals and plants. We always
try to display them in a
harmonious way. Our most
popular pieces often feature
elephants, hedgehogs, snakes
and tortoises. In fact, our
logo is a tortoise. Our
pieces are made spontaneously;
we have no preconceived ideas
about what the final product
will be. We just set down and
pick up a brush and let the
ideas flow.
