These delicately textured and woven baskets were made by groups of women across Ghana in an ethical, fair trade environment. They hand weave raffia to achieve these incredible pieces of art.

The material used for weaving in Bolgatanga is elephant grass, this grass is only available in the southern part of Ghana, Kumasi to be precise. The grasses are harvested and dried up, a process that might take up to three (3) days. It is then tied together in big bundles and transported to the Bolga markets. This is where most of the weavers buy their raw materials. The straw grass is further processed before weaving begins.
