Description

�Entyatyambeni� is a Xhosa expression meaning �In Flower�. The artworks exhibited were originally inspired by the organic botanical fabrics of Josef Frank. They have since then blossomed and grown into artworks that reflect the artists own growth, awareness of their precious environment and heritage.

Using fabric scraps, felt made locally and patient stitching, these artworks are brought to life by the collaboration between the artist and the embroiderer.

The Keiskamma Art Project was founded by Dr Carol Hofmeyr in 2000, in the Eastern Cape village of Hamburg. She encouraged a small group of women to learn embroidery, which today has become a large band of artists who generate income through the sales of the high quality craft they produce.
