Telephone Wire Baskets
 
This craft has become a contemporary craft using recycled material
called telephone wire which is plastic coated copper wire which comes in many colours .

This stems from the traditional weaving of grass ‘mbenge’ beer pot lids. 

Some 30 odd years ago watchmen, sitting in front of buildings, would pass the time by covering their walking sticks and bottles with telephone wire cable.  This has progressed to a vibrant craft of a variety of items (from bowls, place mats, vases to bracelets and other decorative items) made from the coloured plastic covered strands of copper wire – and a whole new tradition has been born.
