The capital, Kumasi, was once the nucleus of the Asante Kingdom and was the geographic meeting point of  the Sudanic Empires across the Sahara to the north, and the gold mining Kwaman Forest Region which traded to the south with Europeans on the Coast. Established by King Osei Tutu in 1695, Kumasi was connected by royal roads and paths to all the leading provinces beyond the "Kingdom Of Gold".</div> <bR> <div> The Ashanti craftspeople  are located in rural villages surrounding Kumasi. These villages were established to produce cloth, regalia, household furnishings and religious objects for the Royal families of Ashanti. Each village is dedicated to a particular craft. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="brass.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Brass casting"><U><IMG SRC="4f7f5a30.jpg" border=0 width="245" height="163" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="brass.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Brass casting"><U> Brass casting</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id5.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Beadmaking"><U><IMG SRC="166f4c20.jpg" border=0 width="244" height="194" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><A HREF="id5.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Beadmaking"><U>Beadmaking</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id6.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Kente weaving"><U><IMG SRC="4f9f4450.jpg" border=0 width="244" height="325" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><A HREF="id6.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Kente weaving"><U>Kente Weaving</U></A></div> <div>  </div> <div> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Woodcarving"><U><IMG SRC="4e8f4400.jpg" border=0 width="244" height="320" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Woodcarving"><U>Wood carving</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Adinkra printing "><U><IMG SRC="4fbf5b80.jpg" border=0 width="245" height="184" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Adinkra printing "><U>Adinkra printing</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="drumming.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Djembe drumming "><U><IMG SRC="4ebf7b90.jpg" border=0 width="247" height="185" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><A HREF="drumming.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Djembe drumming "><U>Drumming</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="wilderness.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Wilderness"><U><IMG SRC="593f8ba0.jpg" border=0 width="248" height="186" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Wilderness tours</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id43.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contactus"><U><B>You can specify dates, book, or ask for information here.</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Email info@fiema.com to find out more about </B></div> <div> <B>the Ashanti Arts and Crafts Tours.</B></div> <div> <B>Or call me on 01488 686 222</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id33.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Tour links"><U><B>Links</B></U></A><B>, </B><A HREF="feedback.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Feedback on Ashanti tours"><U><B>What people say</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=18.75% BGCOLOR="#FFCC66" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <A HREF="http://list-manage.com/subscribe.phtml?id=1abfdd2abb " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://list-manage.com/subscribe.phtml?i"><U>Click here to subscribe to my newsletter</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fiema Ghana craft and community tours"><U>Tours home page</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="dipo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Dipo tour April 2010"><U><B>Dipo Tour</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id64.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Craft tour 2010"><U><B>Crafts Tour</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="cycling.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Cycle Tour August 2010"><U><B>Cycle Tour</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="wilderness.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Wilderness"><U><B>Wilderness Tours</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="drumming.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Djembe drumming "><U><B>Drumming Tour</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id67.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Minka Tours"><U><B>Peru Tour</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="home.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fiema Crafts and Tours"><U><B>More about the crafts</B></U></A><B> </B></div> <div> <A HREF="feedback.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Feedback on Ashanti tours"><U><B>What people say</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id42.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Travelling in Ghana"><U><B>Travelling in Ghana</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id40.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Terms and conditions"><U><B>Terms and Conditions</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id43.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contactus"><U><B>Contact us</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id71.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Consultancy"><U><B>Consultancy</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Responsible Travel and Fair Trade princi"><U><B>Responsible Tourism and Fair Trade</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id33.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Tour links"><U><B>Links</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id67.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Minka Tours"><U><B>Peru Tour</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id57.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Peru Clearance Offer"><U><B>Peru Alpaca Special Offer</B></U></A><B>!!!</B></div> <div> <A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Hand crafted jewellery"><U><B>TO SEE THE CRAFTS PRODUCTS CLICK HERE</B></U></A><A HREF="id3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fiema Crafts"><U><B>HERE</B></U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
