Sejnene Handmade Blackened Clay Beads

In the Sejnene pottery tradition, these clay beads are the first thing that women learn to make to teach them how to model and fire the clay. The beads are blackened with charred plants and then fired. Once they master making these beads, the new potters graduate to vases and bowls.

Each piece we have is made by the hands of skilled artisans. Handmade items, by nature, are each unique and have variations. We celebrate those variations and hope you will too!
