Our creations celebrate our roots, reviving and re-igniting traditions. We learn from the wisdom of the past, from colours and textures to processes, we bring the wisdom and beauty of culture back to life. Since moving out of the confines of city life, trading it for the creative energy of Mountain and Wheatland’s of Porterville in the Western Cape, Monique and her small, yet dedicated team of studio assistants have breathed life and energy into copper and brass that comes from a true love and understanding of metals and art. Monique, with her roots firmly entwined in a family tradition of smithing, having learned the trade of a Goldsmith under the watchful eye of her father, Franz Huppertz, himself a Master Goldsmith from Pforzheim, Germany. This close relationship fostered a desire to create beauty yet maintain simplicity and above all functionality. The road taken today is one born from a combination of success and failures all culminating in her unmistakable creative drive to provide clients with art pieces for daily life.

We have a selection of One Day Workshops ranging from beginner to advanced level run from our studio on the property, including jewellery, cooking, water colour painting, soap making and ceramic workshops. Enjoy step-by-step tuition from Monique and other artists in a fun and relaxed surrounding. One Day Workshops make a perfect gift idea.
