Description

Years ago in the time of the Rwandan Kings, there once was a prince who decided to decorate his house by molding geometric shapes onto the wall of his hut using cow dung.  In time, this technique was developed into a popular form of traditional Rwandan art called “Imigongo.”  During your Experience, you will learn the history and technique of Imigongo art and then make your own piece to take away with you.

Brilliant and informative

We had a wonderful afternoon with Theo and the team. We are a large group (34) and yet the team managed to keep us all occupied with a delightful array of traditional crafts. A fantastic way to relax after a few hard days work and we all bought some amazing gifts in the shop. This is a must do when in Kigali. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed!!
