The display traversed two mainlands, going about as an extension to the global workmanship local area. "We could offer this association with the rest of the world - the global craftsmanship market. We are the primary genuine exhibition to have done that throughout the entire existence of this country, which is insane," he says.

The exhibition has since shown at enormous fairs in Dubai, London, Paris, Johannesburg and Lagos. In a short space of time, it has shot to the front of the African workmanship scene.
