Spier Wine Farm's landmark ceramics exhibition Grounded Practice has been extended until Sunday 12 October, giving visitors more time to experience the acclaimed showcase at the historic Old Wine Cellar. Curated by Tamlin Blake, it features 63 ceramic artworks by 42 South African artists exploring themes of stability, sustainability, and self-reflection in times of change. The exhibition emerged organically around artists using clay as a healing medium to find balance amid personal, political and environmental instability. Blake emphasises clay's dual nature – malleable when wet, permanent when fired – as a metaphor for human resilience and our connection to the earth. Featured artists include Sinethemba Xola (meditative spiritual work), Anita Sikutshwa (abstract forms inspired by African mythology), and Sylvester Zanoxolo Mqeku (sand-casting techniques reflecting human imprints on earth). The exhibition aligns with Spier's regenerative philosophy and supports local artists' sustainable careers, offering diverse works appealing to fine art collectors, design enthusiasts and general audiences. The exhibition, originally scheduled to end on Sunday 14 September, has been extended and remains open daily from 09:00 to 17:00. — Spier Wine Farm’s landmark ceramics exhibition Grounded Practice has been extended until Sunday 12 October, giving visitors more time to experience the acclaimed showcase at the historic Old Wine Cellar.
