WITH Christmas on the horizon, it can be a difficult decision to settle on gift ideas because of the endless possibilities, and although Christmastime is a time of family togetherness and joyous moments, it can also be a costly affair for many people staying within a reasonable budget.
The Kwazulu-Natal Society of the Arts (KZNSA) Art Gallery in Berea is home to a contemporary gallery, which hosts artists of national and international stature, and reflects the vibrant, creative heart of the province and is also one of the best places in the area to purchase affordable and fabulous beaded gifts! Here are some magnificent and festive beaded pieces that you could gift to your loved ones or purchase for your home this Christmas.
At the stall, you will find Victor Mpofu who makes all the pieces by hand. Photo: Nia Louw
