saying goodbye to 2013

We want to thank everyone who has followed us this year and wish you a peaceful slide into 2014.
We hope that the new year brings many cultural collaborations into your life and few cultural collisions.

When people come to Ghana we tell them to bring their sense of humor. In that spirit we share this with you

ADINKRA

"Greenie", an inspiring teacher at the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, comes to Aba House every summer for an art "fix". Not trained as an artist she just needs a little help getting started, but once on the right track there's no stopping her. Here are a few photos of ADINKRA being taught in "Greenies" classroom. 

ADINKRA is a good hands on way to introduce students of any age to African culture. The stamps are easy to handle and each has a meaning based on an African proverb.

We sell the stamps. Our best customers are artists and teachers.
