Taking modern African artisan crafts to the world!
These wire and bead art works are made by hand by members of the collective and are intricate and colourful. With only pliers, wire, beads and their hands, these artisans skillfully create any animal or functional object imaginable, often to custom specifications. Any animal or object can be made to order with just a few photos necessary for guidance.
By buying our wire and bead works you are supporting skilled artisans who are versatile and creative. Artisans such as these normally sell their work on street corners and craft markets, and it is the ambition of this collective to elevate these works of art to a place they belong: in homes, offices and galleries worldwide.
You are also supporting a fairer form of business for these artisans who are now elevated from an inferior, precarious sales situation on the streets to an equal partner in an online sale.
By paying a fair price for these works of art you are recognizing their true value and the creativity, skill and labour that goes into their creation.
In a small but significant way, you are contributing to the economic and social uplifting of not only these artisans, but also the families and communities that depend on them.
