The Art of Ghanaian Beadmaking

These beautiful beads are created by the Krobo people of Ghana using a time-honored technique. Recycled glass is crushed into a fine powder, carefully placed into molds, and heated in a firewood kiln to form the intricate bead shapes. Each bead is then polished and decorated, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

Trade beads have played a vital role in African history, serving as currency and symbols of status, spirituality, and social identity. Today, they continue to represent the rich artistic heritage of Ghana and beyond.
