He found about Ardmore through his friend Abel who is a graphic designer at Ardmore. And as a kid he used to sell pictures that he had hand drawn and coloured with crayons. One day he decided to go to Ardmore to sell his drawings and when he got there he saw the artists doing beautiful artworks using a clay and he was immediately interested. Founder Fée saw this young man and asked him to join winter school. “I was happy to learn more skills from Ardmore’ says Nkwenkwe.
Nkwenkwe is inspired most by Victor Mtshali (sculptor) he is learning a lot from him and is an amazing mentor to him.
