About the artist
Clementina van der Walt is a renowned South African ceramicist, recognized for her contemporary approach to handcrafted design.

“In this 21st century, where we are increasingly propelled into a digital world saturated with information, creating utilitarian and contemplative objects by hand becomes a form of resistance, an essential counterpoint.
Ceramics, a discipline rooted in history and everyday rituals, touches on society, spirituality and philosophy.
It is around the domestic space, this place of intersection between spiritual life and earthly anchoring, that I tried to explore these ideas.

Her aesthetic draws on the shapes, colors, and textures of African landscapes, both urban and rural. Her intention: "to seek the sacred in the ordinary."
She works mainly with stoneware and glazed earth, using molding, casting and throwing techniques, as well as engobes and glazes applied raw.

Her work has been exhibited in leading galleries such as the Southern Guild Gallery (Cape Town) and The Gallery at Grande Provence, and showcased at international design fairs. Her works are featured in prestigious public collections, including the Iziko South African National Gallery and the Corobrik Ceramics Collection Museum, confirming her place among the leading figures in contemporary ceramics.
