her caftans collections Ceramics. The story of Ardmore begins over 30 years ago
when, in 1985, Fée Halsted started on a journey of teaching
ceramics to a talented group of rural people on a farm in
a remote corner of the Kwazulu-Natal province, South
Africa. From the beginning, it has been a family affair.
And thus, Ardmore has proudly earned a reputation for
its iconic imagery rooted from their shared experiences
and family values. This authenticity exists at the heart of
every piece of artwork. Today the bustling studio is home
to over 70 African artists whose ceramic works have been
recognized as modern-day collectables by auction houses
Christies, Bonham’s, and Sotheby’s.
