Sbonelo Boni Luthuli
I am currently in my second year of Fine arts at Durban University of Technology.
Children are my greatest inspiration in my work. I am inspired by their joyful laughter, timeless smiles, pure hearts and innocence as well as their silent cries, and the carefree nature of their being as well as beauty and warmth that they possess. Drawing on this inspiration I produce mostly Zulu pots that are smoke fired in the traditional way. These are decorated with original designs inspired by African masks and other resources.
I chose to do ceramics because I felt that it was the medium that I could best express myself in. Since starting my career as a student and artist, I have not exhibited any of my artworks nor have I sold any. One of my dreams is to be a successful ceramist and artist.
