Martha's '' Zulu Weaver studio'' is based in a converted warehouse in the heart of Lusaka's bustling C.B.D. making a visit an interesting and exciting adventure.The colours and everyday life in Lusaka influence the designs and patterns on Martha's woven fabrics.Using mainly the best Zambian cotton she makes fabrics for different purposes such as
  • table cloths / mats 
  • throws for chairs and lounges
  • cushions
  • bed spreads
  • curtains
  • scarves
  • clothing
  • wall hangings
Martha takes orders for her fabrics and as she says ''ever fabric has a life of its own'' thus making each piece an individual work of art. As well as running Zulu Weaver Martha teaches people from all walks of life how to weave. Lessons can be organised by contacting us.
