Founded in the late 1980s by fine artist Fee Halsted at Ardmore Farm in rural KwaZulu-Natal, Ardmore Ceramics & Design is an artistic community and luxury brand that combines Western ceramics techniques with African art. Talented young artists produce tablecloths, wall-hangings, cushions covers, placemats, handbags and even stationery inspired by the natural environment, plants and animals of the farm’s surroundings, and local folkloric traditions.
