Abstract
This research aims to explore ideation processes kente weavers involve themselves
in while solving design problems and developing innovative ideas. The research is
based on case study interactions with kente weavers in Ashanti Region (specifically
Bonwire) and hypothesizes that among the population of weavers, there are different
strategies for ideation that can provide important lessons for design students. These
ideation processes may have already been identified and published by foreign
authors and as such, this research seeks to draw parallels between already researched
models and to pinpoint one or two out of the several which can best be adapted for
an African context, particularly for design students
