WOVEN SCULPTURES | pinch & coupe back in stock

Our PINCH and COUPE sculptures are back in stock! These are unique three-dimensional art pieces that add texture, depth, and dimension to a space. They are stunning showcases of the craftsmanship and creativity of their makers.

 

 

Standing about 4' tall, our woven sculptures are handmade from elephant grass by members of SWOPA, a women's organization for traditional arts in northern Ghana.

SWOPA aims to empower local women by providing them with vocational training, income-generating opportunities, and a platform to showcase their artistic talents. It also seeks to protect the rich cultural heritage of the Kassena-Nankana people, preserving traditional painting, weaving and pottery techniques, which have been passed down through generations. By providing training in these ancient crafts, SWOPA ensures these cultural traditions are not lost.
