Local Works

Local Works A cultural arts & crafts shop in the heart of Stellenbosch. Supporting local artists and fair trade groups.

It is a place that celebrates the colourful bright exuberance of African Art & culture; it is a soft meeting place that makes creative community possible and that celebrates life. Every handpicked item on display tells a story and invites the visitor to slow down for a moment, to breathe, to look, to touch and to listen. The diversity of art and craft works on display signifies something of the unique ethic of this remarkable little store.

Paintings that form part of our current PLACES exhibition with artist

Here’s what she says:
‘In my series PLACES I connect to the ground, the earth, the various landscapes of South Africa which brings the soil and its many layers to the fore. In this series I make use of textured scarring and scratching and layering. The earth with its colours and textured soil is painted in an abstract fashion.’
