Art gives prisoners new lease on life
Six months ago a group of prisoners at the Knysna Correctional Services (prison) could not draw a straight line. Now, thanks to the generosity and huge heart of Pieter Kruger, an established cartoonist and illustrator, these same men not only draw with skill but have some light in their long prison week. Every Thursday since September last year, Pieter Kruger of Sparklife Studios takes drawing material and books on how to draw, and spends two hours with the prisoners teaching them the art of drawing.
