Sirigu Women's Organization for Pottery and Art




The northern village of Sirigu, near the border of Burkina Faso, was one of our last stops in Ghana. This women's cooperative keeps alive the unique house painting and architecture of this village as well as weaving and pottery arts.

Weary at first, but friends by the end.

    Sorry, this is the only way I can see to contact you.

    I am a South African calligrapher who likes to use African design in my illuminated addresses and the design on this wall really thrills me. Please do you have any more pics of that building with the children standing in front? I will carve your names on a beach here and send you the pic. (see http://www.imagekind.com/GalleryProfile.aspx?gid=dd064fef-f862-4489-84a3-72c6125fd5ab)

    You can email me on beachcalligraphy@gmail.com

    Many thanks
