NATURAL AND TRADITIONAL MATERIALS
Elephant Grass
Elephant grass is a local grass that grows spontaneously in great abundance in many parts of Ghana. Many different colors can be obtained by boiling straw in water and adding powdered dyes.
Raffia
Raffia fiber is obtained from the raffia palm tree. It is a straw-like fiber that comes off from the inside of the palm leaves. The fibers are found only in a special species of palm tree that grows abundantly throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Calabash
A fruit that grows on both trees and vine plants. It can be harvested young and eaten as a vegetable, or matured until it dries (and changes color from green to brown) and can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
Mulberry paper
A non-native plant that is now a major invasive plant in several regions of Ghana. Locals are trained to develop skills as paper makers and, in turn, be able to use this skill as an additional source of income.
