KAMERS Makers, South Africa’s premier artisan platform, is set to make its much-anticipated debut in KwaZulu-Natal at the ZA Fest 2024 from 14 to 17 June, 2024. This partnership marks a milestone for both entities and promises a great experience for attendees seeking inventive artisanal products.
With an expanded version of the festival this year, it will be bigger, bolder, and bursting with arts, music, and culture. The event sees the Ndlovu Youth Choir return as the headline act.
There’ll also be loads of mouth-watering delights by local food and beverage vendors. Little ones can also dive into a world of wonder in the dedicated kiddies’ zone, packed with exciting activities, face painting, and creative crafts.
New Makers
Through their six national shows, KAMERS Makers fosters interaction between artisans and shoppers, amplifying a circular local economy which enriches both these small artisan’s businesses and the communities in which they operate. What sets KAMERS Makers apart is a commitment to quality, ethics and innovation.
Makers undergo rigorous vetting and mentoring processes – ensuring consistently top-notch products. Over 21 years, KAMERS Makers has established itself as one of the continent’s premium artisan platforms, showcasing more than 2100 different Makers with not an import in sight!
The platform has launched more than 200 new Makers, many of whom have now become established, self-sustaining job creators and income providers for hundreds of people.
“The partnership between KAMERS Makers and ZA Fest stems from a mutual desire to create a unique experience for festival-goers. We’re thrilled to bring our unique blend of discovery, shopping, and celebration to this beautiful province – showcasing over 100 of SA’s finest Makers. Everything from fashion to footwear, skincare to ceramics, craft gin to jewellery, accessories, homeware and more. We’re certain the discerning shoppers of KZN will be blown away by the quality and variety of these local talents.” says Jeremy Doveton-Helps of KAMERS Makers.
“The relationship between KAMERS Makers and ZA Fest is more than a partnership, it’s a perfect synergy of shared values and a commitment to celebrating South African talent. Their presence adds immense value to the festival, enriching the experience for festival goers with this unmatched artisan showcase. We’re thrilled to welcome them on board, and we’re confident that their participation will elevate the festival to new heights of excellence and cultural celebration. And with Ndlovu Youth Choir as the headline act, we’ve created a cultural experience bar none,” adds Evan Roberts of ZA Fest.
