Situated above Olympia Bakery with sweeping views of Kalk Bay Harbour and False Bay, Kalk Bay Modern showcases an eclectic mix of contemporary South African art, fine art prints, photography, ceramics, local design and handcrafted goods. The gallery features both emerging and established artists, alongside one of the largest collections of contemporary San art from South Africa, Namibia and Botswana.
David Walters, one of South Africa's most distinguished potters, was also the founder and driving force behind its first craft route, Natal's Midlands Meander and is also a Fellow of Ceramics SA. David has been a potter for 35 years, moving from regulation stoneware in the 1970s to a 20-year love affair with white, hard, lustrous porcelain. Some of David's hand-thrown porcelain is smoke-fired, a technique also known as pit-firing.
