Recycled Tin Bi-Plane  £15.65 | In Stock

Product code: 174044
They used to say it was like flying in a ‘tin can’. A description that comes to life with these fantastic recycled bi-planes. Made from steel wire and long thin colourful strips of recycled aluminium soft drink or beer cans, this biplane would liven up any room. The propeller and wheels turn, and it has a hook for hanging up. Suitable for big kids of any age, the recycled Tin Bi-plane is the recycled present to give!

Made by B & B Craft & Recycling, founded by Ben Ncube “the Can Man” who started 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 demand grew Ben 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.

• The plane measures 9.5 inches in length and 4.5 inches in height
