Wire & Beadwork

Wire and beadwork is a traditional craft practiced by African artisans. This art form involves using galvanized wire and glass beads to create intricate and colorful sculptures and functional items. Items created include key rings, fridge magnets, animal sculptures, pencil tops, candle holders, bottle stoppers, trophy heads, key hooks and Christmas decorations.

At Africa Smiles our wire and beadwork range is handmade by teams of crafters and artists living and working in the urban areas of KwaZulu-Natal.

Due to the nature of the medium we are able to produce customized items whereby we design products to suit your particular market requirements. For customized work, minimum quantities may apply.
