Heritage Crafts x Museum shop

#Ghana
The lost wax collection was developed for a Museum shop keen to sell unique pieces of brass jewelry for which the ancient Ashanti Kingdom is renowned for.

How we collaborate:

A simple process

A hand-drawn black ink sketch on graph paper showing two views of a turtle with handwritten notes about size (5-6 cm or 2.5 inches) and whether it is 3D or flat.

Phase 1: Sketching the idea

It starts with simple means: an idea, a sketch and some design references.

Then we contact our network to find the artisan or the collective who has the skills and we ensure supervision and logistics in the country and make you an offer.

A rustic wooden table displays various handmade carvings and jewelry, including a carved turtle, small yellow stone rings, blue and purple beaded strands, and carved rectangular pieces, with parts of people's legs and feet visible around the table.

Phase 2: Prototyping

There are master craftsmen who still work with the lost wax technique in Kumasi, the ancient capital of the Ashanti Kingdom.

We worked with two of them to realize the brass elements of the accessories collection.

Phase 3: Sampling

A talented tailor in Accra made a prototype out of denim before producing the final indigo fabric in a village in Northern Ghana.

We eventually dropped this element because the brass clasps were too heavy.

Several rough, handcrafted clay pots with wide flared rims sit on sandy, gravelly ground. Metal tongs holding glowing orange and green molten material are positioned above the pots, suggesting a pottery-making or kiln scene.

Phase 4: Production start

After the prototype is approved and the parameters for the final production are set - it can start.

See the final result below.
