Story Behind the Art:
'My name is Kwasi Agyeman Addo Atiase and I am a jewelry artist with a talent for creativity and design. I was born in Accra in 1972. I became interested in crafting jewelry after seeing my older brother create calabash earrings. I taught myself and learned how to weave a cord and how to carve the hard way. I practiced a lot to master this craft and my desire to succeed kept me going. In 1995, I attended a fair trade exhibition and met an exporter who loved my work and suggested I create coconut buttons. I decided to also craft necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I am always happy when I'm crafting jewelry and I'm passionate about my work. I use coconut, bamboo and glass beads. My inspiration comes from within and from other works of art. I hope to have more creative and unique designs to sell to people around the world. And I dream of having a workshop of my own.'
