Ceramic art includes works that are expressive in form, often beyond what is utilitarian and ornamental. Strauss & Co offers works that highlight the rich tradition of various practices in Southern Africa, incorporating processes that include wheel-throwing, moulding, slip casting and hand building. From traditional pottery by the likes of Nesta Nala to contemporary ceramicists like Hylton Nel and Nico Masemola, whose work is informed by figurative elements and text, to studio-based pottery such as Linn Ware, Kalahari Ware and Rorke’s Drift artisans, Strauss & Co has established a robust market for local ceramics.
