<b>Latest Update</b><br><br>
?My carving project started in Aburi along the roadside, but now I have my own shop that I operate in Aburi. I have three people that I am training. I joined Novica ten years ago, and those years have been full of excellence. As an artist, the marketing of my final work was a big issue for me. Therefore when I heard of Novica I didn't miss the chance. <br><br>
?I quickly got my works assessed and approved for listing on Novica. As I started making sales, the money went into taking care of myself and my family. I must say that, though my sales pattern is slow, I am able to use the money I get from my sales to pay utility bills and feed my family, as well as for the schooling of the children. <br><br>
?My aim is to increase the sales of my products, in order to create more unique items.? <br><br>
<b>Original Artisan Story</b><br><br>
Wilson Aboagye is a Ghanaian craftsman, born March 21, 1963. <br><br>
"I attended Anglican primary school in 1972 and Anglican middle school in 1979," he says. "I got interested in Ghanaian African carvings when I was a child, so after middle school, I learned the trade through a man named Mr. Akoffour. Now I have my own workshop and am training three people. <br><br>
"I carve different types of masks and many of them have a meaning. My products are unique and my target is to create more."
