Over several days, the craft of mosaic art was taught to several Mama Afrikas, teaching them to transform simple materials into handcrafted coffee tables.
These Clover Mamas participated in a mosaic course. This was done with teacher Petro Strijdom of the Trunell mosaic art shop, specialising in ceramic inserts and tiles.
They carefully pieced together their unique designs with tools in hand. Laughter, teamwork, and a deep focus filled the studio.
Confidence and momentum grew as their designs started to take shape and they saw their coffee tables transform.
With their coffee tables completed, each Mama Afrika received a certificate of completion. This recognising their effort to learn a new craft.
“My beautiful table is now in our living room. My family is so proud of this work of art. It brightens our lounge,” says one of the participants.
Clover Mama Afrika is a sustainable corporate social investment project that has been in existence since 2001. It teaches and guides strong females in communities all over the country to build their skills. Through this they can sustain and improve their own community projects. These women are lovingly called “Mamas” due to their standing in their neighbourhoods.
Only the most committed are enrolled and these include women looking after orphans, the elderly, and those suffering from HIV/Aids.
