An Arty End

Hermanus seems to inspire the artist in us. Some start their art here, others bring their art here. Art in every form abounds, and Hermanus is probably one of the villages with the most studio's and galleries in the world. A particular concept I find very alluring is the open studio, where you can not only buy art but watch the artist commit his art. This beautiful ballustrade end belongs to one such a studio, where pottery is sold & made.

Let There Be Light




The perimeter wall of the Enlighten Education Trust is a true work of art, with beautiful mosaics right round. Look at the exquisite detail of a light bulb, a feature that is repeated in several of the other mosaics, signalling light. It is situated in Swartdam Road, next to Zwelihle. The trust was esthablished in 2002 and several projects and courses are being offered. Please read more about this wonderful initiave at http://www.enlighteneducationtrust.org.za/
