About Big Blue Moma Baskets

Big Blue Moma employs over 360 weavers in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana. We work closely with the team to establish the best outcomes for both our clients in the developed world, and our weavers. We call what we do "Conscious business" because in every decision we make, our team is considered fully. We are not a charity, we are a for profit business and the Ghanian team are our partners in this venture. We learned in our short time in Ghana that charity is not our preferred method of helping. Business is more sustainable, and it is more valuable than any one time gift or donation. So me personally, Karie Wylie (also known as "Big Blue Moma") well I come from a small town in Northern Alberta and went to Art School in my twenties. I graduated with a Degree in Testile design with a focus on weaving. I come by my love of this craft honestly and when I am not working I can be found at my loom. Read their story
