Isiphethu began in l999 when a group of women came together to sew a wall hanging for a Woman’s Day project organised by the Gallery. The project inspired the women to continue creating these unique pieces.

Each woman creates her own design, chooses her own subject, decides on the colours and creates pictures in a distinctive and individual style. All the embroideries tell stories, some are events in the lives of the women, others are legends and historical incidents and some reflect modern day living.
