11. THE KROBO BEADMAKING TRADITION
The Krobo people of Ghana are renowned worldwide for their mastery of recycled glass beadmaking.
For generations, artisans have transformed recycled materials into handcrafted beads through techniques passed from one generation to the next. Fused Krobo beads are created by carefully combining multiple colors of recycled glass and firing them in clay molds.
The firing process fuses the colors together while preserving organic variations and distinctive patterns, ensuring that every bead is unique.
Today, Krobo beadmaking continues to preserve cultural heritage, support artisan communities, and connect traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
