Light. Shafts of brightness radiate out of shady Constantia Nek forest in the form of Light from Africa, a foundation giving hundreds of underprivileged, traumatised children access to healing creativity. The NPO, based at a studio called Art in the Forest, also runs a mentorship programme through which celebrated potter Anthony Shapiro guides aspiring young potters. Forestware, their custom-made ceramics range, is sold both locally and internationally. All profits made at the studio are invested into the foundation, which boasts Desmond Tutu as a patron.
