Tant Engeltjie (Emma Maritz) was baie jare lank bekend as die skulpevrou van Jeffreysbaai. <\/p>\n
Sy het die mooiste ornamente van skulpies gemaak wat gewild was onder plaaslike inwoners en veral toeriste. <\/p>\n
Die Dorp van Drome organisasie het haar vereer met \u2019n bootjie aan die strandfront, wat na haar vernoem is. Dit is geplaas waar van die skulpstalletjies destyds gestaan het, naby die NSRI toring. <\/p>\n
Sy het in 1948 in Jeffreysbaai aangekom en sommer gou besef watter waarde die skulpe van die dorp inhou. Sy was as\u2019t ware \u2019n skulpkunstenaar. Die meeste ornamente is deur haar ontwerp. Dit het gewissel van vrouens in deftige klere, diere soos paddas, vo\u00ebls en muise, en pragtige borsspelde.<\/p>\n
Later het skulp-versierde spie\u00eblrame, doilies en teedoeke gevolg. Haar skulp onderneming het uitgebrei en sy het \u2019n hegte band met van die plaaslike vroue opgebou. Sy het hulle geleer om die ornamente te maak. Sy het eers die besigheid uit haar huis in Diazstraat bedryf en dit \u2018Tant Engeltjie se Skulphoekie \u2018genoem. <\/p>\n
Haar unieke borsspelde het die oog gevang van die OK Bazaars, wat toe \u2019n bestelling by haar geplaas ter waarde van oor die honderd pond! Dit was destyds sowat twee honderd rand, wat toe baie geld was. <\/p>\n
Tant Engeltjie se dogter, Emma (ook bekend as Franci) Wayt (72) is in haar noppies dat haar ma vereer word. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy ouers het eers \u2019n \u2018caf\u00e9 on the move\u2019 gehad, en dan het my ma gewoonlik met pa geraas as die ware rondval in die waentjie. Daar was ook destyds \u2019n strokiesprent \u2018Engeltjie en Kaspaas\u2019. Die vroulike karakter het altyd met haar man baklei. En dis hoekom my pa my ma toe begin Engeltjie noem het, en die naam het gebly!\u201d<\/p>\n
Emma s\u00ea haar ma het selfs later vissersbote gehad wat uitgegaan het op die see. \u201cOns huis was \u2019n besige plek met skulpe en al!\u201d<\/p>\n
Eve Alexander (78) was vir veertig jaar lank Tant Engeltjie se regterhand en het met alles gehelp\u2026van die huishouding tot skulpewerk! <\/p>\n
\u201cDit was vir ons meer vriendskap en kameraadskap. Dit was regtig \u2019n plesier om vir haar te werk.\u201d <\/p>\n
Tant Engeltjie is op 13 Januarie 2009 oorlede.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
