Telephone Wire Baskets and Bowls


As one of the members of the BAT Shop telephone wire project in Siyanda, KwaZulu-Natal, Nomvuselelo learned to weave telephone wire baskets. She started weaving baskets on weekends and school holidays to pay for her school expenses. After completion of Grade 12, she began weaving full-time. With her husband Simon, she creates patterns with bright colors and complex patterning.
