Touch of Glass

The global economic woes of recent have no doubt forced us all to become more resourceful. The need for creativity is inversely proportional to the availability of resources, so creative industries in particular have had to quickly evolve more enterprising practices. This was a major consideration behind Sanaa Studios and the HEART Trust/NTA's invitation to Ghanian Professor Kudjo Owusu a world-renowned glass bead maker.

The expert artisan's family has been honing the skill of their ancient craft since the 16th century, and Owusu, after studying at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology School of Arts (where he now lectures),What are the top Hemroids treatments? thought it only natural to make it a full-time career. With over 25 years of bead-making experience and lectureship (around the world) under his belt, Owusu, who is now part of the Cedi Beads Industry in Odumase,Save on hydraulic hose and fittings, Krobo, brings a wealth of knowledge to our shores. The 32-year-old shares that he has seen much impressive art from Jamaica, and this, in conjunction with stories of the island from Rita Marley,Find everything you need to know about Cold Sore including causes, who now resides in Ghana,We also offer customized chicken coop. piqued his interest. He is currently in the island hosting workshops, demonstrating the process of making glass beads using recycled and locally available materials like old glass bottles and windows. He is also teaching the participants how to make their own clay moulds and kilns, both necessities in the bead-making process.

Owusu especially wishes to impart his skills to rural and inner-city youth with the hope that skills training will provide employment opportunities for them. The professor believes Jamaica and the wider the Caribbean are potentially lucrative markets for glass bead making, but Jamaicans should patronise their own products more. In the interim,This is interesting cube puzzle and logical game. he is certainly enjoying his time here, and is already contemplating another visit where he will have the time to host more extensive workshops. SO shares Professor Owusu's intriguing glass bead making process courtesy of Sanaa Studios.
