Cape Town
Clementina Ceramics
Housed inside the Old Biscuit Mill, a red brick building dating from the 19th century, this ceramics shop is the showroom of Clementina van der Walt, a local artist whose designs are inspired by the various landscapes of Africa. Hand-painted in either bright colors or subtle earth tones, van der Walt’s ceramics include both functional and decorative pieces, ranging from bowls, mugs, and Judaica (such as matzah plates) to wall tiles, candleholders, and vases of all shapes and sizes. In addition to her pieces, the shop also sells the work of other South African artists, including jewelry, photography, and wooden sculptures.
Insider Tip:
Plan to visit on Saturday morning, when the Old Biscuit Mill hosts its weekly Neighbourgoods Market. There, local vendors sell everything from fresh produce to wood-fired breads and craft beers.
