The Krobo people of Ghana have developed one of Africa’s most respected glass beadmaking traditions.
For generations, artisans have transformed recycled glass into handcrafted beads using techniques refined and preserved through community knowledge and family practice.
The fused glass process involves combining multiple colors of glass and carefully heating them to create distinctive visual patterns. This technique allows artisans to create highly expressive designs while maintaining traditional methods.
