Kudzie

Craft supply shops anchor creative communities in ways that go beyond transactions. Kudzie isn't just selling materials—it's often the place where makers bump into each other, ask questions, stay aware of local markets and exhibitions, and feel like there's infrastructure supporting what they do. In Knysna, where tourism and creative work intersect, a shop like this becomes a hub. Locals discover new techniques or artists they hadn't encountered. Visitors stumble in while walking the high street and leave with supplies they didn't plan to buy. The store's role extends to community-making, not just stock-moving.
