COMPILED BY VISI
From locally made face masks and an illustration by Jade Klara for vida e caffè to new Le Creuset planter sets and free online art courses through MoMA, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 330.
1. Jade Klara Illustration and ELLO Mural
Local artist Jade Klara was asked to illustrate a beach scene for vida e caffè on the Camps Bay strip in Cape Town, which was then interpreted and translated into a hand-painted mural by ELLO. The fun mural includes surfers, ice creams, sandcastles, crabs and dogs wearing pants!

2. Local Face Masks
Regulations state that any outside endeavours require wearing a face mask. Here are just a few options for you to keep in mind, all of which will help to support local businesses.
