The Story of Artvark Gallery

Artvark was founded in 1991, Johannesburg South Africa.

The core of the "company" was the handmade cutlery initiated by Theresa Jo - an artist with a Fine Art degree majoring in jewellery at the University of Stellenbosch, and CP Wessels, a designer, previously a filmmaker and a brief student of architecture at the University of Natal.

Relocating to Kalk Bay took place in 1998 where Artvark Gallery and a manufacturing studio in Retreat for Artvark's steel range were established.
