The Craft Art Workshop offers guests an opportunity to browse through the Art on sale, meet the artists, enjoy a wonderful cup of coffee or light meal, or to join a guide on a cultural tour of Mossel Bay if you have the time.

The artists who display their art at this communal art gallery are always ready to meet those who come to visit. They offer arts, crafts, gifts, souvenirs and curios so everyone will find something they like. Some artists work with beads, others draw or paint and some do needlework or leather work. Even the coffee shop has its own craft for sale!

Jeremy van Wyk offers cultural tours and bookings can be made at the Workshop. He brings together the traditions and rituals of the Koi-Khoi people and the archeology of the middle stone age at the Cape St Blaize Caves in order to offer a glimpse across the cultures and ages of the people of Mossel Bay.
