11. THE KROBO BEADMAKING TRADITION
The Krobo people of Ghana are renowned worldwide for their glass beadmaking expertise.
For generations, artisans have transformed recycled glass into handcrafted beads through techniques passed down within families and communities. Fused Krobo beads are produced by combining different colors of recycled glass and firing them within molds designed to shape and fuse the materials together.
As the glass melts and fuses during firing, unique patterns emerge naturally. This process ensures that every bead possesses its own character and individuality.
Today, Krobo beadmaking remains an important cultural tradition that supports artisan livelihoods while preserving one of Africa's most celebrated craft practices.
