The people of the village Ekumfi-Ekrafwo and their queenmother Everlove decided to go for the production of bamboo bowls, bowls to be used for eating Fufu, a Ghanaean staple food. Bamboo is a common but rarely used local resource. Everybody sees the big advantage of bamboo compared to pottery - they won't break when they fall. Making a bamboo bowl has a long eastern asian tradition and it is not easy. Currently a local craftsman - experienced with bamboo though not with bowls - is in residency in Ekumfi-Ekrafwo and trying to teach himself and the villagers how to make it. Meanwhile we are experimenting with boat and floor varnishes for the finishing of the bowl. Ekumfi-Ekrafwo voted unanimously for a dark brown or black surface because this is the coulor the common pottery has; seeing a dark bowl whets people's appetite for Fufu.
