Glass Trade Beads and Galvanized Wire
12″ x 12″ x 3″
These wonderful trays, bowls and vases are created by a bead and wire art studio based in Cape Town, South Africa. Inspired by nature and created by hand, they specialize in finely sculpted decor made from glass seed beads and galvanized wire.
Established in March 2004, they are a socially conscious, job-creation project that operates in the spirit of fair trade and fair wage. Stable employment is provided for a team of twenty artists many of whom are the sole breadwinners of their families. They have created a supportive work environment that encourages the development of the artists’ skills and the nurturing of their talent.
