Today’s home is a reflection of its people, gone is the need to look like the Jones’s. Our homes are authentically us, stripped of pretense. Product transparency is also a growing trend; we shop with a higher conscience focusing on wellness and sustainability, wanting to know the person or story behind our purchase.
This year the Pretoria HOMEMAKERS Expo brings you the stories and the best products in home improvement. The Expo is where you can come face-to-face with the craftspeople or knowledgeable experts who provide visitors with the best understanding of the product.
The show helps to expand dialogue between homeowners and suppliers. It offers unique ways for you to see, touch, feel and compare products and services.
The 2019 theme of Raw Comfort, embraces perfect imperfections, and through various talks and demonstrations we will show you how to get in touch with a more organic world.
Show features include:
Jacaranda FM
Once again, the Jacaranda FM team will be broadcasting live from the expo. Don’t miss all the on and off air fun as they keep you entertained throughout the day.
Raw Workshop
Proudly brought to you by World of Decorative Concrete
The Raw workshop will bring a wealth of interesting demonstrations where craftsmen show off the beginnings of their product of trade. Find yourself at the heart of the development of manufacturing lines of products that we dream and plan to have in our homes. Some of the raw products that you will get to know better in this theater includes the making of glass, wool and, of course, the ever popular medium of cement. Meet us in the Raw workshop where we will bring a refreshing showcase of how to work with raw products and how to use them in your decor.
