FRANCES VH STUDIO BOTTERBLOM COLLECTION SCREENING

Frances vH Mohair Studio

Frances v.H Mohair is a women-led textile studio based in Prince Albert. Frances van Hasselt is a designer and entrepreneur focusing on developing mohair textiles in South Africa. Raisedon a mohair farm in the Karoo desert, van Hasselt has a deep affinity for this natural fibre.

She collaborates with a team of women artisans in the Karoo, weaving a story about the origins of textiles, simultaneously allowing the natural environment to inform every aspect of their design and making process.

We were honoured to be invited by The Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT) to be their featured artist for the Journey to Jazz Festival, 2024.

Botterblom Collection

We wanted to create something to celebrate the everyday experiences of the people who collectively make up our town and get to call it home.

The collection intends to encapsulate the concept of home and how that looks, sounds and feels for each of us in the studio.

This is the short documentary that captures the story of the Botterbom collection. Short performance by Karoo Blues
