TECHNOLOGY/TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT

ATAG, in collaboration with other technology organizations addresses technology related problems of the Ghanaian handicraft sector. Technology Development and Technical Training is essential both in ensuring effective and cost beneficial production and for the actual production processes. Some of the Technology and Development and Technical Training issues which have been undertaken by ATAG so far are technology related problems with clay, brass variegation, kiln development, glass crusher development, dye consistency and fastness. ATAG, through its Design Workshop, is experimenting with many of the materials and processes being used by the artisans. For example, recent experiments on the water tightness of clay and the reduction of moisture in wood through solar drying have been successfully carried out.
