The Trophy Wine Show

John Skotnes was an artist, craftsman and jeweller, whose oeuvre included sculptures commissioned for public places as well as finely wrought jewellery in silver and gold. This unique combination of skills, together with a remarkable aesthetic vision, made him the ideal person to approach in 2002 to design the trophies for the Trophy Wine Show. When the Trophy Spirits Show was launched in 2019 there was no doubt about who should be commissioned to produce the trophies. His vision was integral to the image of the competitions. He remained involved and every year modelled, restored and arranged the engraving of the winners’ names ahead of the announcements of the shows’ resultsJohn died tragically on 28th December. His death is a great loss – to his family, to his vast circle of friends, and to the creative community of South Africa. We join them in mourning the passing of a great artist and a generous, warm and kind human being.Wine Wizard Investec 🎥Pierre van Zyl 📸Danie Nel Photography ... See MoreSee Less
