Hot on the heels of their Bloemfontein event, KAMERS/Makers have announced two new venues – one for the Cape Winelands and one in Irene, south of Pretoria.
What at first started off as an intimate gifting market hosted inside a Stellenbosch home, intended to bring entrepreneurial creatives and potential customers together, is now a national showcase of the best of local fashion, jewellery, homeware, décor and lifestyle products.
With a record-breaking 160 makers registered for the upcoming Winelands show this is set to be the biggest KAMERS/Makers Boland event yet. The new venue is the fabulous Blaauwklippen Vineyards between Stellenbosch and Somerset West and will offer visitors extended shopping hours on the Friday evening.
To top that, KAMERS/Makers have an incredible 200 makers lined up for the last show of the year and the overall largest event to date. This year’s Pretoria show is moving to Cornwall Hill College in Irene – this beautiful school offers visitors wonderful open spaces, easy access and secure off-street parking.
Wanda du Toit, KAMERS/Makers co-owner and Creative Director, gives us insight into what you’ll be seeing this summer: “After 16 years and 37 shows we are still blown away by all the new ideas and Makers we saw during the curation process for this Summer’s events. Plants and botanicals are still a strong trend. We are also seeing retro colours and patterns making a comeback. Visitors can look forward to ample wood, clay, organic shapes and all things authentic.”
Ticket prices also include a collectable shopper bag, a new magazine and a Consol glass bottle which you can refill with purified drinking water from Bluewater.
KAMERS/Makers Stellenbosch runs from October 30 – November 4, 9am – 5pm daily and KAMERS/Makers Irene from December 4 – 9, 9am – 5pm.
