Dianne Bienes Seminar Room # 1In this 2-day workshop, attendees will learn more about this group of African people, listen to their cultural music and create a beautiful Ndebele painted house that you can take home to display.
The Ndebele people live primarily in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces in South Africa. The Ndebele are ancient offshoots of the main Nguni-speaking peoples and began migrations to the Transvaal region in the 17th century. The Ndebele women continue their tradition of creating elaborate beadwork of all sorts and of painting the walls of their homes (both interior and exterior) with strong, brightly colored geometric designs.
In this 2-day workshop, attendees will learn more about this group of African people and create a beautiful Ndebele painted house that you can take home to display.
Seating is limited. Registration required.
