I haven’t posted for a long time but I have a good excuse : I was on holiday in Mozambique with 2 friends.

I travel to Johannesburg by plane, then I took different buses to Maputo, then to Tofo and Vilankulo.

After on week, Mozambique means to me beautiful beaches and really nice people.

In terms of craft, Mozambican markets offer a wide range of products : paints, jewels in seashell, wood sculptures, colorfull clothes… Even on the beach, a lot of artists come to offer you their creations. In Maputo, the capital city, you cold find a lot of art museums, especially the National Art Museum for contemporary creations.

Artwell, Nandipha, Wilbert and Malanga work hard on the samples to always create new products.

They made products according to customers queries (we can make all that you dream in bead and wire !) or to designers’work for new ranges.
