Description
Material
The wire’s flexibility and strength makes it an ideal material for weaving, shaping, and constructing pieces that require both structure and artistic expression. As a result, telewire has become a prominent material in the creation of decorative and functional objects such as baskets, lighting fixtures, and furniture.
Telewire, also known as telephone wire or telecom wire, has its roots in the telecommunications industry, where it was initially used for connecting telecommunication systems. Over time, artisans in various regions began to repurpose this durable material for creative and functional uses, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa.
In KZN, the use of telewire in handmade crafts gained traction as local artisans sought out sustainable and affordable materials to create intricate and durable products. The wire’s flexibility and strength made it an ideal material for weaving, shaping, and constructing pieces that required both structure and artistic expression. As a result, telewire became a prominent material in the creation of decorative and functional objects such as baskets, lighting fixtures, and furniture.
