RENOWNED potter Andrew Walford’s Shongweni property burned down on Monday, July 11.
Walford and his wife Leanda have lost their home and possessions and their cars were damaged.
Leanda Walford said that the cause of the fire is presently unknown and that they had a brief time to exit the building safely. Neighbours assisted them to push their cars out of the path of the fire.
Walford is a well-known ceramic artist who works in the Japanese style and who has exhibited widely internationally. He held regular open days on his property in Shongweni.
Upper Highway residents can donate kitchen items, linen and clothing at drop-off points in Hillcrest. The Walford’s relatives are currently setting up a Go Fund Me page for the couple.
