    BL1804 April 2018.Psd

    Blackwork Journey Blog, April 2018 March was a very busy month catching up on all the work that had been left until we came back from Kenya and Abu Dhabi. Collating the photographs made me realise just how much we had done in a few short weeks and how many ideas are bubbling away waiting to be designed and stitched. Meeting so many new people and listening to their ideas about needlework and working with them was inspiration in itself and I was delighted when Vicky sent me some photographs of the work that the ladies had done since I left. I look forward to seeing the pieces finished and their next projects. Whilst in Kenya, I had the opportunity to visit the Masai people in one of their villages in the Masai Mara to see their craft work. I also visited the craft market in Nairobi which was full of handmade items from jewellery and beading to paintings, wooden animals and weaving. The noise, atmosphere, bustle and vibrant colours made it fascinating and in between being hassled to buy something, I spoke to a number of stall holders about the beads and their history. African Trade Beads come in many different colours, shapes and sizes and whilst modern shops sell replicas to the tourists, the old strings of beads were made of brass, bone, amber and coins, thought to have medicinal and healing powers. Each bead was designed individually, irregular in shape and were often hand painted. They were frequently used as currency or bartered and were a symbol of wealth.

    Recycled Glass Bead Production in Selected Towns in Ashanti

    RECYCLED GLASS BEAD PRODUCTION IN SELECTED TOWNS IN ASHANTI (Darbaa, Asuofia Asamang and Akropong) BY EUNICE KANKAM-DWUMFOUR (B.A) INDUSTRIAL ART, CERAMICS A thesis submitted to the school of graduate studies, KNUST in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Master of Philosophy in African Art and Culture Faculty of Fine Art, College of Art and Social Sciences. September, 2009 © 2009 Department of General Art Studies CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Glass which is manufactured from naturally occurring materials such as silica (obtained from sand, flint pebbles or quartz), soda ash, lime stone etc have over the years been recycled. In countries like the United States and Great Britain about 80% of all produced glass bottles are recycled (Glass recycling information sheet, 2007). In recycling glass, unlike paper and other products, no loss in purity can be observed provided the glass is well cleaned and sorted by colour. In the actual manufacturing of the glass, from raw ingredients, an exceptionally high quantity of energy is needed to turn the raw materials into a melted glass batch. The melting temperature for pure silica is 2200°F or 1710°c, obviously this temperature is far above the temperature range of most kilns. That notwithstanding, this high temperature makes glass production uneconomical, environmentally unfriendly (pollution) and capital intensive. Recycling glass, therefore, helps to save energy and thereby reduces cost of production. The glass to be recycled is broken into smaller pieces called cullet and mixed with a quantity of raw ingredients to form a batch which is then introduced into the melting tank.
