African Textile Jewellery-Making Workshop | Bo-Kaap, Cape Town

Discover the art of African textile jewellery-making in a relaxed, hands-on workshop hosted by a local textile jewellery maker in her home studio in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town.

With step-by-step guidance, each guest creates two colourful textile bracelets to take home as a personal keepsake of their time in Cape Town.

The workshop is beginner-friendly, with no previous jewellery-making experience required. Hosted in an intimate setting with a maximum of six guests, it offers a personal opportunity to connect with a local maker, explore South African craftsmanship, and enjoy a creative activity away from the city's usual tourist attractions.
