The Origin of Our Ceramic Art

Colourful, imaginative, vibrant, delicate and dramatic - these are just some of the common adjectives that describe Ardmore Ceramic Art from rural Kwa-Zulu Natal. Ardmore is South Africa’s most successful ceramics studio, set in the historical Midlands, creating exquisitely handcrafted and highly detailed figurative works and functional wares, made by more than seventy artists who draw on Zulu traditions and folklore, history and the natural world under the mentorship of its founder, Fée Halsted.

I have always enjoyed trips into the Midlands from my hometown, Durban, and have many happy memories of our time spent there.  Lazy lunches in beautiful countryside surroundings, stopping off at the many art and craft shops along the way.
