Carving an Ashanti Stool

In 1976 Claude Clark and his son traveled in the west African countries of Ghana and Nigeria. Clark returned to Ghana in the spring of 1978, on sabbatical leave from Merritt College, to live with an Ashanti family. Researching Ghanaian culture and art, he pivoted from the university and the Ghana National Culture Center in Kumasi to travel the length and breadth of the country. Of all the artists and craftsmen that Clark observed in Ghana, none impressed him more than those carving the Ashanti stools. The father and son supervized color separations and printing. Four color ink photo-offset lithography was done by Golden Gate Litho. Size is 20 X 24 inches Shipping is FREE in the U.S.
