Handmade by Elbé Coetsee

Handmade by Elbé Coetsee I have a passion for natural materials and traditional skills. At times quantities may be limited.

The very tactile quality of an object created by the human hand inspires me …its imperfections and its intimacy…the luxury of handmade...hand embroidered textiles and everyday objet d'art In 1994, I established the Mogalakwena Craft Art Development Foundation to provide skills training and employment opportunities for people living the remote Blouberg area of Limpopo province. All Mogalakwena's pr

oducts are designed and handmade in South Africa...by beading, embroidery, basket weaving, stitching, knitting, crochet... processes that are time consuming and mindful. We use natural materials and fibers; and recycle vintage fabrics and glass, wood, shell and seed beads. Some small imperfections in shape, size, colour and texture are part of the charm of our handmade products. "I am especially passionate about textiles and textures ...objects that are created over time …by nature and by the human hand …objects shaped and crafted in metal, clay, wood, stone and fibres, or earth formed over the ages.”
