Nestled beneath the almost 200-year-old trees of historic Genadendal,
ZUVA Studios is a creative space where traditional clay craft meets modern design.
The origins of Zuva
About
Founded by Zinéad Karolus and Divine Mahara Chitubura, ZUVA Studios is shaped by a shared love of clay, storytelling, and the simple magic of making things by hand.
Tucked beneath the old trees of Genadendal, one of South Africa’s oldest mission towns, the studio carries a quiet sense of history, a place where time slows and creativity settles in like an old friend.
Here, traditional ceramic techniques meet gentle modern touches, creating a space where anyone can feel at home.
Whether you’re touching clay for the very first time or returning to a craft you already love, ZUVA offers a warm, open studio filled with curiosity, connection, and the joy of shaping something that lasts.
