Last November, we journeyed with Senzo Duma's team into South Africa's wilderness. Together, we witnessed nature's raw moments – hippos breaking dawn waters and leopards ghosting through afternoon shadows.
This collection emerges from those shared hours in the bush. Each piece carries what we experienced: twilight's midnight blues, savanna's sun-warmed golds, and untamed life in motion. These aren't mere interpretations – they're Africa's pulse captured in clay.
For those who know the pull of Africa's wild spaces, these pieces are your bridge back to its untamed heart.
Born in the village of Lidgetton, South Africa, Senzo Duma's life was molded by his surroundings, just as he molds the clay he works with. Despite a promising future in sports, it was his primary school teacher who recognized Senzo's true calling – the world of art. Senzo honed his craft first at Dargle Valley Pottery and later at Ardmore Ceramics. In 2018, he embarked on a new chapter, opening his own pottery studio and breathing life into his dreams. His work is a stunning mirror of nature, capturing the colors, shapes, and even the mood of his environment. He works with a variety of color palettes, sometimes adding a touch of metallic glimmer to his pieces.
