Made in Dinokeng

Local Art

Based in Dinokeng - Henry Hendrick Chebanga started his career in crafts at the tender age of just 4 years old and has never had any formal craft works training.

Hailing from Zimbabwe, Hendrick started off by making wire cars and bicycles as a form of fun at the age of just four. Little did young Hendrick know that this was going to be his full-time career one day, the journey went from wire cars and bicycles to arts and crafts and even bead work. Hendrick eventually learnt to look at pictures and turn pictures into real life objects.

Henry makes different sizes and shapes; all he requires is the image.

Hendrick is the founder of Hendrick Africa Crafts Works which he established based on his talent.
