Clay Craft Studio is Klerksdorp's pottery workshop — and the first physical node of RESTORE, a community network that helps you save money, share skills, and trade locally. No jargon. Just neighbours looking after each other.
When 200 Klerksdorp residents join RESTORE, the network becomes fully local and self-governing — no central server, no outside control. Your neighbourhood, your rules.
RESTORE is not an app about crypto or philosophy. It's a practical community tool. You use it to buy pottery and handmade goods at a discount, put your skills on a local jobs board, join a savings circle with neighbours you can actually see, and earn credits by showing up.
The technical infrastructure underneath runs silently. You don't need to understand it for it to work for you. But as more people join, it grows stronger. At 200 members in Klerksdorp, it becomes something that can't be switched off.
RESTORE works from the bottom up, starting with the two most urgent layers first.
We start at layers 1 & 2 because no philosophy helps when you can't pay the lights. Everything else follows once survival is sorted.
Each pillar delivers immediate, tangible value. No waiting for a mesh network. No technical know-how required. Just show up and start.
Buy and sell handmade goods directly — pottery, textiles, food, jewellery, and more. Members pay in Sovereign Credits and receive a guaranteed 10% discount. Makers get paid in SC they can spend locally, keeping money in Klerksdorp.
The stokvel is a South African institution. RESTORE digitises it with one important upgrade: the maths are transparent and automatic. The protocol enforces a hard rule — no member's grace debt can exceed 30% of their lifetime contributions.
The braai at Clay Craft Studio is a Proof of Action node. When two verified members meet in person and check in together, the network records a cryptographically signed encounter. You earn SC for showing up. Physical presence is value.
Post a skill. Find a helper. Pay in Rands or Sovereign Credits. The board is built for real Klerksdorp work — plumbing, tutoring, baking, driving, phone repair, childminding. Every verified job earns both parties SC and raises their identity score.
Bring something to share. Meet your neighbours. Check in with the app and earn your SC for the week.
RESTORE can't be gamed by bots because the most valuable thing in it requires you to actually be somewhere with another human being. The braai is the engine room of that design.
Create an account with your phone number or email. A quick check verifies you're a real, unique person. No documents, no forms, no queues.
Come to a braai, a pottery class, or Maker's Day. Check in with the app when you arrive. Your first verified encounter earns you 100 SC instantly.
Use SC at the Market, join a stokvel circle, post a skill, or book a pottery class at a discount. Every action builds the network and your own standing in it.
The studio runs wheel throwing, hand-building, and glazing classes for all levels from age 6 upward. It's also where RESTORE members earn their first SC, meet their first verified neighbours, and start building something real.
Sign up, come to one braai, and you're in. No fee, no commitment, no tech expertise required. Just show up and we'll handle the rest.
