The Ashanti glass beads are created using a unique African technique perfected over the past 1000 years. The process involves collecting discarded glass bottles and other glass materials, which are then cleaned, crushed into a fine powder, and used to create the vibrant and unique beads through traditional methods. Various colors of pulverized glass are poured into a clay mold, with a cassava stem inserted to form the bead's hole. The mold is then heated in a furnace until the glass particles fuse together without melting, and the cassava stem burns away. This intricate process has been a cherished tradition among Ghanaians since the 1600s that's not only a sustainable practice but also supports environmental conservation efforts.
