11. THE KROBO BEADMAKING TRADITION
The Krobo people of Ghana have cultivated a globally admired beadmaking tradition that transforms recycled glass into handcrafted works of art.
For generations, artisans have collected, processed, and repurposed glass materials into beads using specialized firing techniques. Fused Krobo beads are created by arranging fragments of colored glass into molds before firing them in traditional kilns.
As the glass fuses together, distinct colors merge while retaining unique visual characteristics. This process ensures that every bead possesses its own pattern and personality.
Today, Krobo beadmaking continues to preserve cultural heritage, support artisan livelihoods, and demonstrate the creative potential of sustainable craftsmanship.
