Learn how to make beautiful paper beads from recycled materials.
The intricate artistry of Maasai beadwork embodies centuries of cultural heritage, spiritual beliefs, and female empowerment within East African societies.
Through the hands of countless generations of women artisans, this craft has evolved from simple strung beads into complex artistic expressions that serve as historical records and social indicators. In contemporary Maasai society, beadwork continues to be a powerful medium through which women maintain their cultural identity while adapting to modern challenges and opportunities.
