Working closely with a local ceramic artisan, Gone Rural has once again thoughtfully combined ceramics and weaving, resulting in a beautiful yet practical tableware range.

The range consists of a bowl and placemat and is available in three design and colour options, all of which draw inspiration from the Southern African region.

Gone Rural was founded in 1992 by Jenny Thorne with a vision to create economic empowerment to women living in rural Eswatini. There are often few employment opportunities in these remote areas, however, with Gone Rural’s enterprise model the women are able earn an income weaving from their homes whilst still taking care of daily household tasks, child-care and farming.

From 30 artisans in 1992, Gone Rural today offers home-based work to 750 rural women and full-time employment to 14 people. We provide market access, product design, materials, and training in order for our artisans to continue earning an income for their beautiful traditional handcraft. The skills are handed from mother to daughter and with every strand woven we preserve a very special part of Eswatini’s rich cultural history.
