Filmed in Bolgatanga

Two minutes inside a working compound

No studio set, no stand-ins. This is the courtyard where our weavers sit through the afternoon: grass split against the thumbnail, twisted into cord, then coiled row over row while conversation carries the count.

A single sculptural basket takes two to five days of this. Watch the hands rather than the basket — the rhythm is what you are buying.

From the village

Colour, finished in the open air

Red, green and ochre bands wound over a black-and-white ground, hung in the shade of a tree between commissions. A bicycle leaning nearby, bricks stacked in the sun — the everyday backdrop to the work we take straight from the maker to your room.
