Handmade and handpainted

I was fascinated watching Simfonita painting this Bambanani bowl. She works at Zizamele Ceramics, an interesting studio in Kommetjie. She made the bowl (traditional pottery wheel) as well as the attached figures. While the colour themes are decided by the studio, each bowl will be unique because the crafter may adapt the designs to fit her own style.

Look at the range here: http://www.zizamele.co.za
Oh that bowl looks gorgeous! Very nice! Off to check out the website.

Excellent set of shots here. I particularly like this one - it's so natural, the concentration on Simfonita's face (lovely name) is a picture.
