The grasses are harvested and dried up, a process which 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. Straw is collected and splitted then rolled/twisted for texture. . Straw is dyed to give a vibrant color before weaving begins. .

Approximately 12” W x 8” H. Fair Trade. Organic dyes are used to dye the grass. Profiled weaver tag is attached to each product. *These delicately textured and handcrafted woven baskets were made by groups of women in intimate communities in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana in an ethical, fair trade environment.  .
