How Bolga Items Are Made
All Bashiri's baskets are handmade by weavers in Ghana, each with their own special techniques. The art of basket weaving is a familial craft, handed down from one generation to the next.
The raw material is elephant grass, a 100% sustainable material that grows in the flood plains around Bolgatanga in northern Ghana.The grass is harvested, dried, and finally boiled to dye. The weavers split each length into two, and then roll it to give it more strength.
Baskets may take 3 days to one week to make depending on the size, design and intricacy of the patterns. We are in awe of the artists that weave these unique baskets and love the relationships we have established with them.
Bashiri's Story
Bolga Baskets are personally acquired by our Director Simon in the satellite villages of Bolgatanga in northern Ghana. They have been working with the same weavers since 1997 and have established a successful ongoing partnership that employs over 30 locals and their families.
They believe in supporting and respecting the artists they buy from, collaborating at local and fair market rates. Bashiri gets to know each artist and supplier personally, establishing rapport and learning about the pieces they create before acquiring them.
As we trade directly with the artisans, there is no certificate per se, even though the trade conditions match those of certified programs.
