Woven Traditions: Basket Weaving in Kigali

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Golden Coffee Roastery cafe to begin our workshop on basket weaving. Local craftswomen will welcome us and guide us in the traditional art of basket weaving. Alongside our knowledgeable teachers, we'll learn the significance behind each design.

We will start by listening to personal stories that highlight the cultural importance of weaving in Rwanda. With materials and tools in hand, guided by our instructors, we will learn the delicate art of Rwandan basket weaving.

As you shape the baskets, you will connect to a craft that has been passed down through generations. Each color and pattern will link you to the community and its legacy.

After 2 hours of weaving, you will take home a basket and a piece of the history and spirit of Rwanda.
