SANLAM HANDMADE CONTEMPORARY FAIR

One of the best outdoor celebrations – the Sanlm Handmade Contemporay Fair – is ingrained on the social scene in Joburg.

Every year it surprises with exciting artisans creating some of Africa’s most beautiful and desirable products. This year’s theme – A return to Making – is about the makers who transform raw materials into meaning. It’s on at Hyde Park Corner from October 12-14.

This is the ninth edition of the festival and highlights include five featured designers as well as Well Made in Africa – a special project by Wacy Zacarias, founder of textile companies Woogui and Karingana Wa Karingana.

Even more reason to art away the day is the inclusion of two new cocktail lounges, from Bombay Sapphire and Bisquit Cognac.

Exhibitors include some of the most respected names in local design, food and wine.
