Just as women are the heartbeat of a culture, the ancient skill of the Zulu heritage / nation Beadwork has long been an important means of communication, each bead or combination telling a story whether it be a love letter, symbolic, spiritual or purely for adornment the intricate craft demands a very high level of skill. Despite the ever evolving world we live in, Beadwork has retained its relevance and has also become a highly sought after tourist acquisition. This craft is being kept alive by about 300 traders in Warwick Junction from surrounding areas who spend their time designing and beading the most beautiful items. To experience this beautiful artwork and Bead market book a Friday tour through the Markets of Warwick. Email [email protected]
