The Hungry Red Lion is an extraordinary story of selfless commitment: Peder and Ulla Gowenius achieved what many would today consider impossible: they encouraged, educated and empowered rural Africans young and old to weave, pot, carve, print and make art as a means of making a sustainable living. Some of their pupils went on to train as teachers in Sweden and then return to KwaZulu-Natal to share their knowledge. Together with their trainees, they achieved what many would today consider impossible.
