Cape Guild of Weavers at Mogalakwena, Montebello
We’re excited to bring you a fun workshops line-up in collaboration with Mogalakwena studios, purveyors of local African craft, situated at The Stables, Montebello Design Centre, Newlands.
Many moons ago, when the Cape Guild of Weavers was still a fledgling organisation, our very first shop container was at Montebello. So you can imagine how thrilled we are to be able to return to these beautiful grounds (thanks to Mogalakwena for hosting us!) with our wider members offering.
