Local Works A cultural arts & crafts shop in the heart of Stellenbosch. Supporting local artists and fair trade groups.

It is a place that celebrates the colourful bright exuberance of African Art & culture; it is a soft meeting place that makes creative community possible and that celebrates life. Every handpicked item on display tells a story and invites the visitor to slow down for a moment, to breathe, to look, to touch and to listen. The diversity of art and craft works on display signifies something of the unique ethic of this remarkable little store.
