At Streetwires they create and market the very best contemporary African wire and bead craft, blending First World resources with traditional Third World craft skills to the benefit of everyone involved.
Started in 2000 this Proudly South African project is providing skills training, support and raw materials necessary to enable over 100 formerly unemployed men and women to channel their natural creative energies into this vibrant art form. A common thread running through all the wire creations, and one which sets them apart from most other art forms, is the fact that the majority of wire art is designed not only with ornamental value in mind but also may be functional in one way or another.
