Искусство изготовления бисера Кробо
Krobo artisans in Ghana are renowned for their intricate beadmaking techniques. Each bead is crafted using age-old methods that have been passed down through generations. The process begins with grinding recycled glass into powder. This powder is carefully poured into molds, and layers of colorful glass fragments or natural dyes are added to create stunning designs. Once decorated, the beads are fired in a kiln, where high temperatures fuse the glass and set the vibrant patterns in place.
What Makes These Beads Unique?
The intricate decoration of these beads is what truly sets them apart. Artisans use metal and wooden tools to etch or paint detailed motifs onto each bead. This meticulous process ensures that every bead is a unique piece of art, perfect for jewelry-making or as collectible items.
