Calling all South African designers and artisan food and wine makers - the 6th annual Sanlam Handmade Contemporary Fair will take place a little earlier this year on 9-11 October 2015. The venue will still be on the fabulous rooftop of Hyde Park Corner in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Sanlam Handmade Contemporary Fair was a tremendous success last year, and featured some of the country’s best entrepreneurial design, food and wine talent. At Lionesses of Africa this month as part of our Focus on African Women Designers, we are featuring some of those incredibly talented designers and women entrepreneurs we met at last year’s fair.

The organisers of the 2015 event are scouting for new talent to showcase at this year’s fair and are interested in discovering new small producers whose products Joburgers would love to experience. For more information on how to take part in this year’s fair, apply online at http://foodwinedesign.co.za or contact Roberta Thatcher of Artlogic, the curator of the fair directly on roberta@artlogic.co.za

Watch this space over the coming weeks for more information on the wonderful women designers, food and drink producers showcasing their work at the 2015 event.
