Ceramic design: RED EARTH CLAY PROJECT
|
| The Red Earth Clay project is
a craft empowerment business initiative. The project has
received funding from the Department of Arts and Culture,
the Carl & Emily Fuchs Foundation as well as from British
American Tobacco (BAT).
The purpose of the Red Earth Clay Project is to assist
and afford talented previously disadvantaged young adults
the opportunity to gain a tertiary education that will
not only provide them with a recognized qualification
but also the creative and technical skills that will allow
for self-sufficiency. The project also aims to bridge
the gap between tertiary level and the market place through
the establishment of a business unit and small production
facility. The project also assists and trains local community
craft initiatives to reach full potential.
