Hester Klein and
Catharina Kam

These two sisters, who both hail from the Eastern Cape and now live at the Crags, proudly run the Mill Craft workshop.

Both ladies were previously involved in 'Women on the Move' craft centre and moved to The Mill centre when this project dissolved.

Hester is a fabric painter as well as seamstress, and produces beautiful hand painted tablecloths and other items.


Catharina, who was taught to use the hand weaving loom on arriving at the Crags, has mastered the technique in making authentic mats from cotton and mohair offcuts - thus reducing waste from other processes.

Other crafters have the opportunity to sell their products from the centre, and include crochet work and wattle basket weaving.

The Mill centre is so proud to have these women as part of the Mill family.
