At AAFRICAA, we celebrate design that tells a story - and few South African artists embody this more vividly than Clementina van der Walt. Known for her joyful use of colour, painterly textures, and expressive forms, Clementina’s ceramics bring personality and warmth to every space they inhabit.
Based in Cape Town, Clementina’s work is instantly recognisable. Her ceramic vases, wall plaques, and cups and mugs , Retro vases and plates balance art and utility, transforming everyday rituals into moments of beauty. Each piece feels alive - a celebration of imperfection and individuality. Her Satin collection of espresso cups and mugs, is a vibrant ode to optimism. Glazed in glossy satin finishes and painterly hues, they turn morning coffee into a symphony of colour.
Her wall plaques, depicting whimsical portraits, objects and abstract characters, blur the line between fine art and functional décor. Hung in clusters or as statement pieces, they create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and expressive - a reflection of Clementina’s belief that handmade art should evoke emotion and connection.
Expanding her creative vision, Clementina has introduced a new textile range of pouches and washbags, printed with her distinctive painterly motifs. Each one captures the same spirit of playful sophistication that defines her ceramics - perfect for travel, gifting, or simply adding a splash of artful colour to everyday life.
“For me, being part of AAFRICAA is about connection - connecting to craft, to culture, the handmade to the contemporary, and individual expression to a shared African design directive”, she explains.
