Oklah Tetteh makes Recycled glass beads. Oklah comes from one of the well known Krobo families with a long history of bead making. He collects different coloured glass from all over West Africa and uses them in his distinctive and unusual beads. He is a master at both creating original designs and colour combinations. His beads are very popular with eShopAfrica's customers and he is now taking special orders for new shapes and designs from the UK, US, Australia and Italy. He is very excited by the prospect of these new markets - he'd like his beads to sell all over the world. As his business grows he plans to get more equipment. He is currently saving up for a glass crusher (it costs $1,000) that would save him and his workshop hours of work crushing by hand. He also wants to travel to other parts of the world to study different bead making techniques.
eShopAfrica is a Fair Trade Organization. Below are some examples of the Recycled Glass Beads that he makes.
