Imigongo Painting Class
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 workshop, you will learn the history of Imigongo Art in Rwanda. You will then paint your own chosen Imigongo (cow dung Art) to take away with you.

Fabulous experience for our large group. Theoneste and his team were incredibly friendly and welcoming and full of interesting facts. We loved every minute!
Thank you for the great review. We are so happy you have fun at our Studio and hope to see you back again soon.
Great fun! A very special type of art. The studio was cosy and our guides friendly and attentive. Even as someone with not much artisitc skill, I managed to design a painting I very much enjoyed.
Thank you for the great review. We are so happy you enjoyed yourself at our studio.
My husband, my friend, and I recently visited Azizi to paint Imigongo with Theoneste. Theoneste was a fantastic host, sharing the history of Imigongo in a fun, engaging way, telling stories, joking, and laughing with us. We really enjoyed our time there and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kigali!
Thank you for the great review. We are so happy you had a good time at our Studio.
This was an enjoyable date night with my husband. Before we started painting the instructor gave us a brief history lesson on how they started using cow dung. She was the perfect host. We were allowed to bring our own wine and played music 🎶. I definitely recommend if your in Kigali.
So happy you had a good time at our studio. Thank you for the lovely review.
