Skills for Sustainable Futures
Craft School South Africa offers a non-fee paying, one-year artisanal skills programme for young South Africans aged 16-25. We teach crafts, business skills, and life skills. We open doors.
We Teach Craft
Textiles, Furniture, Ironwork, Needlework (CMT) — hands-on mastery in one year.
We Build Futures
Business skills, QCTO certification, and career placement support.
We Change Lives
Counselling, community, meals, transport. A full duty of care.
“Craft School South Africa is more than an artisanal skills school. It is teaching skills today for earning tomorrow.”
