Permanent Exhibition
Presently, the Permanent Exhibition at the Nubuke Centre for Clay and Textiles features works from Cecilia Lamptey Botchway (YGA 2021) and creations that emerged from the British Council Digital Collaboration (BCDC).
The exhibition showcases various textile styles and patterns created by hand-picked master weavers in the towns of Nadowli, Nandom, and Wa. It also includes additional pieces by Michael Jackson Bleboo, and Edward Lamptey. Also featured are chairs woven by students from the school for the blind.

The woven fabrics that were produced from this collaboration form the basis of the Centre’s permanent exhibition. The project was carried out in partnership with Assemble UK and under the British Council Digital Collaboration Grant Programme.
