Edward makes beautiful handwoven hats from recycled plastic materials as well as intricate handcrafted flowers from recycled tin cans. He also creates necklaces from wooden beads. He learned his craft by observing elders weaving hats with grass in his community while growing up in the Eastern Cape. Due to a disability caused by an accident, Edward is unable to work and creates his crafts for an income.
