The Clover Mama Afrikas have participated in a Mosaic Course with Petro Strijdom from Trunell Mosaic Art. Throughout the course, the Mama Afrikas have learned the craft of mosaic art, which led them to transform simple materials into handcrafted coffee tables.
Clover Mama Afrika says the Mama Afrikas carefully pieced together their unique designs with their tools in hand, guided by Strijdom and her daughter. Laughter, teamwork and a deep focus filled the studio.
By the second day, the women had gained confidence and momentum in their new craft and were loving every second. Their designs started to take shape, and the excitement grew as they saw their coffee tables transform, says Clover Mama Afrika.
With their coffee tables completed, Clover Mama Afrika says the Mama Afrikas ended the course by celebrating their hard work and dedication. Each Mama Afrika proudly received a certificate of completion, recognising their effort to learn a new craft.
"My beautiful table is now in our living room. My family is so proud of this work of art. It brightens our lounge," says Mama Zakhe Rammekwa.
"Thank you, Prof Elain, Teacher Petro and Maryke, for your guidance. I am so proud of my work on this coffee table," concludes Mama Phomolo Raisa from Botshabelo, Free State.
