The Krobo people of Ghana are internationally recognized for preserving one of Africa's most celebrated glass beadmaking traditions.

For generations, Krobo artisans have transformed recycled glass into distinctive handcrafted beads through specialized techniques passed from one generation to the next.

The fused glass technique involves combining multiple colors of glass and carefully heating them to create intricate patterns and visual effects. This process allows artisans to produce highly distinctive beads while maintaining traditional craftsmanship.
