Emerging now are the fourth generation who are reaching their 20’s. Of course there are lots of children aspiring to be sculptors too, here are First Generation Sylvester Mubayi’s grandchildren sculpting!
The artist’s age, experience, skill and talent along with exhibition experience will all influence the price of the sculpture, hence some pieces are more expensive even though they are the same size as another… Because this skill is passed down in families, there are a lot of sculptors whose surnames are the same and it’s worth knowing who the ‘original’ sculptor was! Several most-known generations of sculpting families are the Nyanhongo’s, Mashaya’s, Mukomberanwa’s and the Mariga’s.
