“The wax remembers my thumb. The brass remembers the wax. That is the whole lineage.”Heritage collectionAll pieces from Ghana
Trained in the casting yards of Krofofrom, Adwoa carves each model in beeswax before investing it in a clay and charcoal mould that is broken open, never reused.
Her studio pours only on dry-season mornings, when the furnace draws cleanly. Every form is therefore singular: there is no second mould to return to.
