Crafts have always been part of the human generation since ages ago, in the history of the human kind you get to learn more about crafts that our great ancestors used to do by using wood and drawing on halls to mark that they have been there.
How people used to make plates and cups out of wood long before there were plates and mugs. In most ethnic group is known for their different crafts, for example, Ndebele’s are known for their colourful house graphics.
This is where all Africans celebrate their sculptures made out of woods, beads, paintings, traditional designs. We celebrate the creativity of everyone who can turn nothing into something, the struggle of people who can turn a stem into a human being and how they can use recyclable materials into something interesting.
Everyone belongs to a certain group of people and they do everything differently. Heritage refers to different dances, food, clothes, language and many more. Knowing more about your sense of belonging is important so that you can have a background of who you really are.
