Foibe Amundaba - Jewelry Workshop Lecturer
What are you currently working on?
Currently self employed and work on commissions. 

What is your background?
I have been involved with the Fine Arts; to be specific painting and crafts for a number of years and have exhibited and participated  in different exhibitions and craft markets in Namibia and South Africa. I have also participated in several workshop by our local Artist and Designers and by International artist. 

Why have you focused on jewelry making?
I have decided to focus on offering a workshop in jewelry as the materials are easy to get, affordable, easy to work with. Oh and jewelry is so versatile any small material than can fit an earring hook can be turned into a pair of earrings. 

Why do you use hard board paper for making your jewelry?
Hard board paper is not normally considered as a tool for jewelry, we will focus on how useful it is as material in crafts. 

Foibe will also be exhibiting some of her fine art work at the Namibia Arts Fair, so make sure to stop by her booth!

Join our local arts explosion on the 28th of July!
