I always visit this town Ntonso with my visitors whenever am in Kumasi. The reason is this, so that they can have a first hand experience with what nature produces which has no equals when it comes to dye. There is this home in Ntonso which is ready to welcome visitors to take part in dye making. What are the ingredients: tree bark and water. The tree bark is pounded to powder and then mix with water, boiled for several hours, strain and boil again until it become sticky black. This is use as a permanent dye and with the 'Adinkra' symbol carved on a piece of calabash, a cloth is beautifully decorated to be worn for funeral or other occasion.Once the symbol is stamped on the cloth, it cannot be removed . It become a printed cloth with adinkra symbols.

We visited this as a large group and were given an interesting talk on the history of the kente cloth and then got to observe some being made. After this, we had a fun experience haggling for and buying very good quality items from them. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone visiting Kumasi.

This place is a must see! Everything was throughly explained and I was allowed to participate in the making of the dye. So many elegant tapestries to buy.

We drove for hours trying to find this village AND with GPS. Saw two beat up yellow road signs advertising the village, and nothing more. Even local people and taxi drivers we asked didn't know where it was either. If Ghana wants more tourism the government needs to provide the basics...which seems to be almost non-existent in Ashanti region.

This was the sole place I wanted to visit while on business in Kumasi with a team of five others. According to the map, it's 22 km from Kumasi, or about 30 minutes. This trip took us 3,5 hours!!! Traffic is infuriating along the only road that reaches this area. So, while I highly recommend the visit to learn about Ashanti fabric making and symbolism, prepare yourselves for a hectic voyage to get there. Amazing and worthwhile, but here again, the hard sell and frenzy of people asking for your attention can be frustrating for those with thin skin.

Met with two of the guys who showed me the process of this tradition. So interesting to know how manually they have to do each cloth and to stamp it individually with signs that have different meanings. Something new to learn.

These guys did a great job explaining the process and letting us try our hand at it. Contact Frank from The Four Villages Inn (+ 233 20 766 7559) to line up a tour of all the craft villages. (There is a toilet for public use here, which is not something to be taken for granted.)
Teachers, buy up those fabulous Adinkra stamps for cheap! Then buy a poster or get the two books that tell about the Adinkra symbol meanings at the University bookstore at Kwame Nkrumah University. Also, I did find one good link online about Adinkra symbols. Anyway, kids are super interested and they can make up their own symbols or just begin to understand Ashanti culture.
Strips of cloth with symbols make great gifts! More unusual than Kente and a bit less expensive too.

This place is really worth the visit. We started at the visiting centre and got a small tour through process of Adinkra stamping. We would advice to not go here but to go to the first shop left of the visitor centre as the owner is more than willing to show you the process for free and he can show you different kinds of processing. If you want to buy any of the fabrics just go to different shops before making your choice as prices differ.

The men of the adinkra craftsmen Ntonso village are incredible. I visited here on a SUNDAY - when they were closed. The young guys came and opened the shop up for me. They laid out all of their cloths and even the bar and fire for me to stamp my own. I purchased several pieces of hand-stamped adinkra cloths. Ghanaians are truly hospitable and these guys truly exemplified that.
