Made by hand

Made by hand
Each bead is painstakingly made by hand, making it a charming and honest piece of art.

Our Story

Earthbutter bead studio is situated in Wellington, a rural community outside Cape Town, South Africa. Earthbutter Beads was started by Desiree Malan to create income opportunities for marginalised women from Wellington, mostly single moms who are unemployed or otherwise seasonal farm workers. Our story is that of many hands working together to make one-of-a-kind beads which will be enjoyed by people the world over.

Our booth at SARCDA Trade Show, Johannesburg



I think that you will agree with me that our booth looked great at SARCDA. The original idea was totally different - the props didn't make it to Johannesburg and Calvin came up with this most beautiful and authentic Earthbutter look!

New beads




It's hard to believe that almost a month has passed since my last blog entry! Sarcda was great and we will be busy working on orders for the next 6 weeks. In the meantime, I am also teaching ceramics and working on my entry for Ceramics SA's national competition...and enjoying every minute of it!!

Here's a few images of our new paste beads (dark blue) and others.

Lavender and blue skies



Its August which is usually a very, very wet month in our part of the world but we've been blessed with lots of blue skies and sunshine. Angelico enjoys working outdoors in the garden where she's surrounded by flowering lavender plants and busy bees. We're exhibiting at Sarcda's Xmas Trade show in Johannesburg from tomorrow until Sunday, 22nd August. Our booth is on the CCDI's exhibition stand and you are welcome to pop in.
