So you’ve been up the mountain, visited many of the trendy spots, and recharged next to the rooftop pool. What else should you do to make your holiday memorable? Make your own souvenirs, of course! What better way to remember the Mother City than to go home with something you’ve made, or learned to make, yourself? Here are four ideas that will leave you with more than just memories of Cape Town.
