Not only have strong bonds formed, but we actively encourage members to try their hand at art and craft. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Many who were curious but hesitant have found the support and advice they needed to take the plunge. Members can readily exchange advice, find recommendations for supplies and learn new techniques.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club also serves as a marketplace for more experienced artists and artisans to showcase their skills and products, offering lessons at reasonable rates. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular gatherings provide opportunities for members to swap creations, socialise and build stronger connections. These meet-ups also serve as a platform to celebrate achievements, with certificates awarded to the winners of the club&#8217;s popular competitions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poised to push creative boundaries, the competitions encourage members to &#8220;think outside the box&#8221; and explore new mediums, said Niere.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This artistic journey has been particularly uplifting for many, offering a positive distraction from health challenges, depression and other difficulties. The enthusiasm for these challenges is evident in the increasing number of entries and the growing value of the prizes.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially sponsored with small contributions, the club quickly garnered support from its members. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talented seamstresses crafted beautiful items, while others donated supplies.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leaders of the recent competitions were Lana Miles, Amelia Barnard and Sumari Galhardo.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding prestige to the current competition, renowned South African artist Willie Bester agreed to be a judge, said Niere. Participants needed to use his work as influence while maintaining their artistic voices.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To join the group and participate contact Heleen Niere on 083 564 7655.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/EdgemeadWhatsApp2_05696.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sumari Galhardo, winner of the Mexican art-inspired competition, shared a remarkable connection with Frida Kahlo with her piece &#8220;Fixing Frida&#8221;. Beyond a physical resemblance, she understands the profound pain Kahlo experienced while dealing with similar physical pain and difficulties. This made her creation particularly extraordinary, requiring immense effort to transform a 1,8 m log into a powerful sculpture of Kahlo. Her innovative approach and dedication were rewarded with a well-deserved win.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/EdgemeadWhatsApp3_05679.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Work of Amelia Barnard that was second-prize winner in the Gustav Klimt competition and a finalist in other competitions, specialising in papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9.
