The Bernstein Collection of Rorke's Drift ceramics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal : a catalogue raisonne.

The thesis will focus on documenting, analysing and interpreting the motifs for the ceramics of
Rorke’s Drift Art and Craft Centre Ecumenical (Evangelical) Lutheran Church (RDACC ELC,
often called ELC Art and Craft Centre, hereinafter referred to as ‘Rorke’s Drift’) which were
donated to the University of KwaZulu-Natal by Mark Bernstein. It is hoped that local indigenous
narratives and visual designs in relation to Basotho and Zulu cultural identity will be outlined in
the form of a catalogue. All vessel forms in the Bernstein Collection (as it will be referred to in
this thesis) will focus on the figurative works and iconographic signifiers that represent local
cultures. Ceramic works by the following ceramists will form the main argument of my thesis:
Gordon Mbatha, Dinah Molefe, Ivy Molefe, Ephraim Ziqubu, Lindumusa Mabaso and Joel
Sibisi of the Pottery Workshop. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2012.
