Exhibition: Digby Hoets Studio
Scenes from the Exhibition |
|||||||||||||||
| The first ever exhibition by Digby Hoets and his students (plus Garth Hoets, Lesley-Ann Hoets, Harri Hoets & Leigh Hoets) was held over the weekend of 11 and 12 May 2013 at his studio at 125, Springfield Rd, Carlswald, Midrand. The event was very well attended and judged to have been a great success by both exhibitors and guests. A power outage for most of Sunday added to the ambiance! Here are a few photographs from the exhibition. | |||||||||||||||

| 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 is open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday. 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 www.digbyhoets.com 011 468 2591 082 927 6606 hoets@digbyhoets.com DIRECTIONS: From N1 take New Rd off ramp and follow signs for Crowthorne.
