"I love colour, lots of it and mainly in bright hues, but have been moulded by my environment in Clovelly to enjoy the more subtle shades..... I attribute this love to the possible existence of a sailor or trader, from the Mediterranean, in my family tree. I’m inspired by almost everything, but mainly the rainbow, the ocean and seaside, the African skies and of course, the people that I interact with. I believe that we need to support South African industries in order to encourage skills development and to ensure that the crafting techniques continue to be handed down from one generation to the next, be they from African, European or Asian origin."  Stephanie Goosen
