Ashanti artisans are self-employed and have limited access to overseas markets. Running workshops and welcoming guests into their villages provides an important additional income to help them keep their craft skills alive.
We have worked with villagers to develop these workshops and community tours to give you a real insight into their lives - not just a view from the bus window.
You will work in the village workshops - sometimes outdoors in the shade of a tree, or in the courtyard of a house - and receive tuition directly from the crafts people. We avoid formal tours where possible and encourage personal and interactive engagement with the communities we visit. You will have the opportunity to shop, cook, and eat with the villagers.
The tours allow visitors to appreciate the skills of the indigenous artists and crafts people, and to interact with them as guests learning from the artists. Guests are encouraged to share their own craft skills.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
