Born in the Transkei in 1980, Vulisango Ndwandwa (or Sango as he is referred) has built up an impressive CV of work experience and training in the field of ceramics. This now makes him one of the most exciting and sought after talents in South Africa, with work in most major corporate and public collections. Most of his work is coiled, highly burnished and pit-fired. "I have a strong inclination towards coiling because of the level of involvement I have with the clay and the direction in which I can take the pot. However, the pots are fired in an uncontrolled environment and the smoking process plays its essential and unpredictable part. In the end, the pot is only made up of clay and smoke. I have recently become more involved with the surface and I am relentlessly searching for development that comes from repetition. Simple line and dot designs are applied to the pots and these areas are open to carbonisation. I am working towards the ideal and the most natural correlation of surface to form".
