Welcome Carpet

Most people notice Route 67’s big colourful mosaic next to the Donkin Reserve but doesn’t realise that there is another beautiful mosaic right across the green in front of the King Edward Hotel.  The Welcome Carpet was done by Lisbet Demeyer and was one of the first art pieces to be done as part of the Route 67 development.  The mosaic is made up of coloured quartz and bead work and forms a red carpet welcoming visitors to the Donkin Reserve.  The design hints at the cultural context of the Eastern Cape.
