Sidney Paladwe

Sidney was born in Lilongwe, Malawi and attended Malungunde School.

He worked as a farmer in Malawi before coming to South Africa in 1995 where he worked on a farm as a manager in the Broedestroom district of the North West Province. Sidney learnt to do pottery with Anne Sole in 1998 which he did in his spare time until Joy suggested that he join Creature Pots full time in 2003. He then moved to live on the farm where Creature Pots is situated.

The distinctive patterns on Sidney's pots and choice of colour show a strong Malawian influence. He has a bold approach to the portrayal of chameleons, lizards, frogs and dragonflies on his pots.
