About this tour
Spend your day in a traditional bead-making environment. Experience a detailed workshop of Ghanaian traditional bead crafting. Learn a new skill from how broken glass bottles are pounded, kneaded and baked in a mud oven to make a stylish bead. Try your hand at the whole bead-making process and leave with your own crafted bead style. Ask the instructor a few questions about the process and the skills used to craft them. Take personal videos and photos while working on your workshop. Get souvenirs to take home as mementos. Kindly note that this workshop gives you the opportunity to select and make any type of beads, whether for the wrist, ankle or neck. Waist beads take longer than usual to make, so they are not part of the selection to be made during this four-hour workshop. However, you can either buy a pre-made one from the showroom or select your bead colour, sizes or shapes for the beadmaker to arrange for you.
Highlights
- Learn how local glass beads are made.
- Learn some basic local history about beadmaking in Ghana.
