Three Potters and a Painter

ABOUT US

Three Potters and a Painter is a company founded by second generation potters, Hestemari and Mientjie Ferreira who were trained by their mother, Annetjie, and through encouragement and support from their parents, started a business which has allowed them to pursue their greatest passion in life.

“We believe that creativity flows through the veins of our mother because her insight, wisdom, and knowledge about the arts has been immeasurable –even after many yearsof relentless council seeking! We have always been encouraged to express our creativity and soon picked up our mother’s passion for the remarkably unique, transformative, and healing power of clay.”

The business has grown tremendously and has established a reputable and reliable reputation based on the clients they have commissioned.

Seeking to bridge the gap between traditional design, which contains the essence of pottery, and the contemporary, which embodies modern culture, Three Potters and a Painter designs, makes, and sells products that represent creativity and masterful craftsmanship. Handmade ceramics are imbued with soul and dimension; there is an allure in their imperfections. Through a collaborative commissioning process with individuals in various fields, unique ranges are developed which symbolises these elements and further contributes to their exceptional character. Ranges produced are the cumulative result of a shared passion and admiration for appetizing food, delectable beverages and exquisite ceramics that are not only functional, but beautiful and elegant. Each item bears characteristics of individuality, yet become united as a whole.

Situated in Stellenbosch, Three Potters and a Painter has set out to change the experience of ceramic design.
