About Andile Dyalvane: Andile Dyalvane is one of South Africa’s foremost ceramic artists. Guided by a deep spiritual connection to his Xhosa ancestors, Dyalvane’s complex, large-scale ceramic artworks are a metaphorical vessel through which he seeks to honour his cultural traditions and share his journey of healing. Born in 1978 in the small village of Ngobozana, near Qobo-Qobo in the rural Eastern Cape province of South Africa, Dyalvane grew up farming and looking after his father’s cattle herd – sewing a deep connection to the land and his Xhosa culture that resonates powerfully through his work today. His medium of clay or “umhlaba” (mother earth) is, at its most fundamental, a life-affirming connection to the soil. But providing a medium for storytelling is also an essential energetic link to his past, present and future. Dyalvane completed a National Diploma in Art and Design at Sivuyile Technical College in Gugulethu, Cape Town, followed by a National Diploma in Ceramic Design from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in 2003. In 2005, he and Zizipho Poswa co-founded Imiso Ceramics, whose handmade tableware and vessels have earned the studio an international following. Through his functional designs for Imiso, he developed a language of incision marks inspired by the ancient African tradition of body scarification that continues to inform his collectible work for Southern Guild today. Dyalvane’s work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vitra Design Museum, New Taipei City Yingge Ceramic Museum, Iziko South African National Gallery, NMMU Art Museum in Port Elizabeth, Pérez Museum in Miami and the Corobrik Ceramics Collection. He has exhibited at galleries, fairs and museums all over the world, including the National Art Museum of China, the inaugural Indian Ocean Triennial in Perth, and the Seoul Museum of Craft Art. Southern Guild has shown his work at Design Miami, Design Miami/ Basel, The Salon Art + Design, NY Now, and Design Days Dubai. A member of the International Academy of Ceramics, Dyalvane has earned residencies around the world and shares his knowledge through master classes and workshops in South Africa and internationally. He is the recipient of the 2015 Design Foundation Icon Award and garnered a Special Mention as a finalist in the 2022 Loewe Craft Foundation Prize.
