What Streetwires Artist Collective is known for
This artist collective bends galvanised wire and threads glass beads into sculptures, lampshades, animals and the beaded radios that made Cape Town wire art famous. Begun as a fair-trade project, it employs and trains artisans who work on the floor of the Shortmarket Street rooms.
