Our People
The Soul Behind Every Thread
We believe that true craft is woven not only from yarn, but from hands, heart, and human spirit. At the heart of our studio is a small, yet extraordinary collective whose patience, precision, and presence imbue each creation with enduring craftsmanship
Ntombi’s mastery of beadwork, Portpher’s quiet strength, and Miness’s rhythmic spinning all work in harmony with Camila and Sandi, whose collective dedication shapes the soul of Sett & Beat. Each brings a story, a legacy, enriching the artistry we create.
Though small in number, our team’s spirit is rich and collaborative. Excellence, we believe, is born from care, and every hand that touches our work shapes not only the textiles, but the very ethos of our studio.
A Place to Grow
None of our weavers arrived with knowledge of spinning or weaving. These skills are refined over time, through guidance, trial, and a quiet dedication to mastery. It may take years to complete a piece with confidence, but even mistakes are part of the journey.
We provide a living wage and a peaceful, supportive environment, where focus and pride flourish amidst green space and the hum of nature. Here, we hope that work is not a duty, but a joy; a place of meaning and growth.
Why It Matters
The people who bring our textiles to life are at the heart of everything we do. There is no automation here, only hands, time, and a firm trust in the craft.
We are not simply crafting cloth; we are preserving age-old traditions and passing down knowledge that might otherwise fade. At Sett & Beat, we create space for growth, dignity, and quiet pride, knowing that our work is meaningful and timeless.
