Exhibition at Digby Hoets Studio


First ever exhibition by Digby Hoets and students                                                             
plus Garth Hoets, Lesley-Ann Hoets, Harri Hoets & Leigh Hoets
at his studio at 125, Springfield Rd, Carlswald, Midrand
11- 12 May 10am to 5pm

Digby Hoets has been teaching pottery and making his own pots since 1973.  Many South African potters and ceramists have started their careers in his studio and continue to work there.  Digby's home and studio are located on a 2 hectare property in Midrand's Carlswald valley - a tranquil, green enclave within an area which is now better known for high density housing developments, office blocks and shopping centres.  Digby's students, many of whom have been with him for the last 20-30 years, are already accomplished potters in their own right but continue to use the facilities provided by the studio for the stimulation they derive from working with Digby and fellow students - the setting of the studio in a beautiful well-treed property with a dam and wetland also adds to the attraction.
 
Cinda Hunter has her unique 'shop' on the property.  She will be open on Saturday and Sunday. Cinda travels extensively to source her jewellery, furniture, artefacts, textiles, clothing and accessories from India, South East Asia and Africa. www.cindahunter.com 083 284 1818 cinda@cindahunter.com

  1. Wonderful photo at the top I love how the pots echo the color of the bark on the trees, I am wondering what type of trees they are?
