South Africa's online arts and crafts market

fricaOne is a virtual Contemporary Arts and Crafts marketplace offering some of the most exciting and beautiful contemporary crafts available from South Africa today. Everything available at AfricaOne is hand made and designed by the craftsmen and women involved.

South Africa is on the threshold of an exciting era having finally cast off the chains of apartheid and thus begun the growth and expansion it has sorely missed for so many years. As a result there has been an explosion of indigenous crafts and arts drawing on a rich, unique heritage of ethnic and traditional designs creating a contemporary art that, due to apartheid and economic sanctions has never been seen or available before. Craftsmen, craftswomen and artists are now enjoying the new freedom and ability to trade beyond our borders resulting in an almost unprecedented wealth of diverse design and crafts.

In some ways it's almost like several countries have sprung up where before there was only one. South Africa enjoys eleven official languages and even more cultures, all with their own unique brand of both traditional and contemporary crafts and art.
