MEET THE ARTISAN

BABA TREE

The Baba Tree Company has been preserving the culture of basket weaving within the Gurunsi Community within Bolgatanga for 20 years.

Over 250 Gurnsi artisans practice a time-honoured practice of heritage weavers technique using Elephant grass to create baskets designed through knowledge handed down from the elders in Bolgatanga, a remote town in the Upper East Region of Ghana, otherwise known as ‘’the city of baskets!

Each basket comes directly from the hands of an artisan weaver and each basket contains their unique signature. Making of the baskets are never rushed to market, but slowly developed to be useful, beautiful, and ethical. Their design and development team work closely with their Master Weavers to ensure the authenticity and incredible quality of all our basketry.

Outside of fair wages and commission when the basket is sold, Baba Tree provides comprehensive support for their weavers and their families, covering all medical expenses and fully funding the education of weavers' children.
