Volkskrant newspaper asked Craftscurator to pose with her favorite product for its Smaakmaker section. Because of her love for ceramics, Irene chose the flamingo pitcher she got from her friends for her 40th birthday. It is made by hand by South African designer Gemma Orkin.
Being featured in Dutch leading newspaper is a great way to start a new year! Craftscurator hopes 2014 will be full of handmade design inspiration.
For the city of Cape Town, where designer Gemma Orkin comes from (and many more talented South African designers and makers are based), 2014 will be a very special year, since the city is World Design Capital!
Craftscurator will travel to and report on the latest developments in crafts and design from Cape Town in 2014. We will select promising designers and exporters in South Africa, and connect them to buyers and designers in Europe.
