Handmade November 21, 2008
All Streetwires products are handmade. So let’s have a look to artists’ hands working :
Our packing team ! November 18, 2008
I would like to introduce to you Streetwires’ packing team. Once the order is completed and quality is checked, they pack it in plastic wrap and in a cardboard box with a tag to identify the customer. They also add sometimes some specific tags or packaging for small or fragile products.

The sample team September 12, 2008
Artwell, Nandipha, Wilbert and Malanga work hard on the samples to always create new products.
They made products according to customers queries (we can make all that you dream in bead and wire !) or to designers’work for new ranges.
Downstairs’ teams September 1, 2008
Work and orders to the studio are allocated to different team groups of 8 to 15 artists. Each group has one team leader and work together to complete order (conveyed by job cards from the database).
You can have a look on the different teams :
- Smackdown led by Joel
911 led by Jethro
Tigers led by Christopher
- Yizo Yizo led by Elias
Tanuna led by Vuyokazi
Twenty 47 led by Luckson
Streetwires is not only wire and beads! July 28, 2008
SW is also plastic ! There is another workshop just across the road where artists work on recycled plastic.
“Plastic, it’s fantastic !”
Streetwires collects used plastic bottles (soap, detergent …) and makes craft with them.
Fisrt, artists hammer the plastic to flatten the bottle. Second, they cut it to give it the good shape. To finish, they put the pieces together to create the product like these flowers or these cute pigs!
