What to know locally in Klerksdorp
Taxi owners in Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana need rear benches rebuilt and roof linings replaced on a regular cycle, and farm bakkies from Hartbeesfontein come in for canvas seat covers and torn driver seats. Mine offices and training centres around Orkney and Stilfontein send office chairs in batches. Church halls in the townships ask for pew cushions and padded chairs to be recovered before big services.
Klerksdorp: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Klerksdorp grew rich on gold and maize, and its older homes show it. Houses in Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Meiringspark often have heavy lounge suites, Chesterfields and dining sets bought decades ago, built on hardwood frames that are far better than anything in a chain store today, and recovering them is the main upholstery job in town. Stilfontein and Orkney have mine houses with the same kind of furniture, and the farms around Hartbeesfontein bring bakkie seats, riempie chairs and stoep benches. Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana have home upholsterers and a busy taxi trade. Workshops cluster in the industrial area and along the main roads. Winters are dry and cold, summers hot, so leather and old vinyl crack if left in the sun.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:

- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: boat builders and marinas sending seat and cushion work to a marine upholsterer
