Telephone Wire

Zulu telephone wire weaving is a traditional craft that originated in South Africa. It involves weaving colorful telephone wire into intricate patterns to create a variety of decorative and functional objects such as baskets, bowls, and jewelry.

This handmade contemporary craft is a skill that stems from the traditional grass basket weaving. It started with the Zulu night watchmen who would weave discarded telephone wire around their security sticks to keep themselves busy. Using the skills of grass basket weaving, the women then transformed this art into baskets and many other items.
