11. THE KROBO BEADMAKING TRADITION
The Krobo people of Ghana are internationally recognized for their mastery of recycled glass beadmaking.
For generations, artisans have transformed discarded glass into beautiful handcrafted beads that serve both decorative and cultural purposes. Through a careful process of collecting, preparing, molding, and firing glass materials, artisans create distinctive bead styles celebrated throughout the world.
Fused Krobo beads are made by combining multiple colors of recycled glass and firing them together in clay molds. This process creates organic color interactions and one-of-a-kind patterns that distinguish each bead.
Today, Krobo beadmaking remains an important cultural and economic tradition that preserves heritage while supporting artisan communities.
