StandardLouise Gelderblom’s ceramic work is rooted in an urban, contemporary African clay tradition. Each hand-built piece is unique. The scale of the pieces (between 80cm and 250cm tall) and the meditative surface detail make her work highly sought after by interior designers, architects and art collectors. In 2009, Gelderblom was the first recipient of the Elle Deco International Design Award (EDIDA) for Best Craft Designer in South Africa. Her studio, which produces up to 150 pieces per year, is in Newlands, Cape Town.
