    Tlhale's Workshop
Tlhale Artists' Workshop was started as an offshoot of the Thapong International in order to help younger artists. In so doing, Thapong discovered the degree of need for more such workshops to cover the basics and to encourage people to continue in their art. This led to all the other workshops and the eventual founding of the Thapong Visual Art Centre. The first co-ordinator of the Tlhale Artists' Workshop was Velias Ndaba. It is not always possible to raise the funds for this important workshop. Major donors have left Botswana since it is thought to be fiscally sound.
 
  Design Workshop
Our Design workshop focuses mainly on craft workers from various disciplines: pottery, textiles, tin workers, screen printers. Each person is encouraged in their professional practices and their own creativity so that they can generate their own designs and carry them through.
