Question 1

How long does the African textile jewellery workshop last?

Accepted Answer

The duration depends entirely on the total number of guests booked for that day’s session. Because this is a hands-on craft, the African fabric jewellery making workshop lasts 1.5 hours for up to 4 guests, and up to 2.5 hours if the session reaches our maximum capacity of 6 guests.Since individual travellers can book into the same session, please use the total capacity timeline below when planning the rest of your itinerary for the day:Up to 4 guests - 1.5hrs5 guests - 2hrs6 guest - 2.5hrs etcPro-Tip for Planning Your Day: To be completely safe, we highly recommend factoring 2.5 hours into your schedule just in case other travellers book into your session. You're welcome to message us the morning of your shweshwe jewellery workshop to check the final group size...

Question 2

Do I need any prior crafting or jewellery-making experience?

Accepted Answer

No, prior experience isn't necessary. The workshop is fully beginner-friendly. I will guide you through every technique step-by-step to ensure you leave with a professional-ish (LOL) piece.

Question 3

What kind of jewellery will I make, and do I get to keep it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you get to keep your creation. You'll design (choosing your patterned fabric and thread colour) and handcraft 2 textile bracelets out of authentic, traditional South African shweshwe fabric and using unique assembly methods.
