About Naledi Langa:

The Naledi Pottery Project situated in Langa's Guga S'thebe is one of the places where tourists and locals can visit and get a first-hand look at how plates, cups and vases are made, from clay.

The place was opened in 2002. There are six people who are currently working at the shop. The potters start off by moulding the plate, cup or vase into shape, then trim and leave it to dry before it is put in the kiln to bake. Afterwards, the decoration takes place and it then gets put back in the oven.

Finally they glaze it with powder and water.

“Business is very slow, especially in winter, and it would help if we had a website and bigger space to do our pottering,” said Luvoyo Matyi, an employee.

They don't sell anywhere else but at their store and Matyi said that it limits the amount of people that see and purchase their stock.

The employees also train the youth on weekends.
