What you’ll find

What Boakye Family Adinkra Workshop is known for

In Ntonso, the source village for Adinkra symbol-stamping, the Boakye family has hand-carved calabash stamps and pressed bark-dyed cloth across four generations, led into her nineties by matriarch Veronica Abena Tebi. The workshop still teaches the stamping technique on-site to visitors and to younger family members carrying the craft forward.
