We're especially excited to introduce you to these whimsical sculptures with an international flair!
Ben Ncube started B & B Craft & Recycling as an individual artisan working in the new South African tradition of making crafts from recycled materials, such as tin cans and discarded wire and incorporating beads in his designs.
As the demand for the products he made grew, Ben, "the Can Man" started training apprentices in the art form, paying them a fair price for the products they produced. The training and production provides a sustainable income for a growing number of young people in Cape Town.
We hope you enjoy Ben's work as much as we do!
