Baskets, hats and fans are made from elephant grass which grows surrounding water holes in the Sahel region of West Africa. The strong slender leaves are harvested seasonally by the Fra Fra people of Northern Ghana. A time honoured process of soaking and stretching is then applied to produce a fine, supple and extra-long wearing fibre. Many practical items are then hand-woven from this material, often dyed in vibrant tribal patterns. All may be soaked in water and re-shaped as desired.
