Year(s) attended: 2010
Basket Weaving (Telephone Wire)
Pretty is the daughter of Zodhwa Maphumulo, a master telephone-wire weaver who has exhibited at the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market.
Pretty, born in 1978 in KwaZulu-Natal, was the first person to be taught by her mother.
She has since developed her own animated weaving style based on contemporary cultural themes, such as soccer, while also incorporating domestic and wild animals into her designs. She now lives in Durban.
