Workshop and Bronze Sculptures - Richmond, Northern Cape

Guy du Toit

Du Toit’s project aims to connect Richmond to the outside world and inject an energy that would break the monotony of rural life whilst facilitating local skills development. It also seeks to build spatial and human connection across the town/township divide within Richmond. The project will consist of a series of events and workshops and will result in the casting and placement of two bronze sculptures by the town’s residents. The workshop will be hosted by MAP (Modern Art Projects) which has a residency space in Richmond, initiated by Harry Siertsema.

Guy du Toit is a bronze and ceramic sculptor who has BA (FA) from the University of Pretoria with distinction. He currently works, lives and lecturers on a part time bases in Pretoria.
