11. THE KROBO BEADMAKING TRADITION
The Krobo people of Ghana have developed one of Africa's most celebrated beadmaking traditions, transforming recycled glass into handcrafted works of cultural and artistic significance.
Fused Krobo beads are created by arranging colored glass fragments into molds before firing them in traditional kilns. During firing, the glass pieces merge together while preserving distinct colors and patterns.
This process produces unique beads that reflect both creativity and environmental stewardship. No two beads are exactly alike, making every strand a distinctive artisan creation.
Today, Krobo beadmaking remains an important cultural tradition that supports artisan communities while preserving valuable heritage craftsmanship.
