Ahwiaa Woodcarving Village

Ahwiaa, Kumasi · Ashanti

A roadside carving village north of Kumasi where workshops turn out stools, masks, drums and figurines by hand.

The local tip

Buy direct from the workshop rather than the roadside shed; you can watch the piece being finished and pay a fair price.

Confirm current prices and whether shipping can be arranged for larger pieces.
