New Range of Ornamental Pottery Project

Clive Sithole Large Teapot 32 cm (h) sold	Clive Sithole, a renowned KwaZulu Natal ceramic potter, facilitated a skills training workshop from which 14 young upcoming ceramicists were trained in the duration of three weeks (15 days). The workshop was aimed at teaching contemporary methods and techniques of ceramic making and at expanding the tradition of ceramic pottery in KwaZulu Natal. This project also provided a platform through which Clive Sithole could showcase his mastery through passing his pottery making skills to young artists.	Clive Sithole Large Teapot 35 cm (h) sold
