Krobo Collection

How Krobo Beads Are Created

Krobo beads are handcrafted in Ghana using a traditional process that has been passed down for generations. The process involves:
    1.    Crushing Glass – Recycled glass bottles are ground into fine powder.
    2.    Molding – The powdered glass is poured into clay molds, often layered with different colors to create unique patterns.
    3.    Firing – The molds are placed in a kiln and heated until the glass fuses, forming solid beads.
    4.    Shaping and Polishing – Some beads are hand-painted with natural pigments before being re-fired for durability. Others are polished with sand and water to achieve a smooth finish.
    5.    Stringing and Final Touches – Once cooled, the beads are strung together or used in various crafts, from jewelry to accessories.
