Get your hands moving in this basket-weaving workshop in Kigali! Enjoy a unique experience during your stay in Rwanda, uncovering handicraft culture.

Woven Traditions: Basket Weaving in Kigali

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Golden Coffee Roastery cafe where we'll kick off our workshop and learn how to basketweave. In the heart of the Rwandan capital, local craftswomen will welcome us and guide us in the traditional art of basket weaving. Alongside our knowledgeable teachers, we'll learn the meaning behind each design.

To get started, we'll listen to personal stories that highlight the cultural importance of weaving in Rwanda. With materials and tools provided, guided by our teachers, we'll learn the delicate art of Rwandan basket weaving.

As your fingers shape the baskets, each color and pattern will connect you to the community and its legacy. After 2 hours of weaving, you'll take a basket home with you, along with a part of the history and spirit of Rwanda.

Included

  • English–speaking guide
  • Materials needed for the workshop
