Bull-Bull is a village located near the Blouberg Camp.

Celia makes pots and containers from egg containers. She makes paper maché from the egg containers by leaving it in water and then working the residue into a pulp, after which she puts this into a mould and smoothes the edges with a knife and spoon to shape it. These containers are then decorated with egg shells, flower seeds, and coral trees. She paints the pots on the inside, using dye and uses varnish to glaze them.

Celia explains how she started her project:

“I was attending Abed school and the teacher taught us to read and write. The teacher noted that the older students needed more stimulation and started to teach us this craft.”

Celia sells her crafts locally and mostly works from orders.
