About 1895 Gellery
Cape Town's maker culture is rooted in its history of craftsmanship and design—from the city's textile heritage to its contemporary DIY ethos. 1895 Gallery sits within this landscape, supporting both the established craft community and the growing number of people discovering creative practice as a form of expression and income. The store reflects the city's particular character: a place where art-making crosses economic and social boundaries, where people often combine traditional techniques with experimental approaches. As more Capetonians turn to creative practice, whether for leisure, wellbeing, or small business, the role of a properly stocked supplies hub becomes part of how the city maintains its creative identity and accessibility.
