O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Više od 50 lokalnih zanatlija prodaje svoje radove iz malih drvenih štandova raspoređenih u uredne redove. Selo je dobilo ime po vrsti čempresa koje su nekada rasle na mjestu gdje se sada nalazi centralna tržnica Kigalija.
Istaknuto: Gaudence, majstorica pletenja korpi stara 72 godine, svakodnevno sjedi na svom štandu, koristeći prirodne boje od listova avokada i ljuski luka za bojenje vlakana. Tehniku je naučila od svoje bake i može završiti malu korpu za manje od dva sata, cijelo vrijeme razgovarajući s posjetiteljima.
Insajderski savjeti
- Politely ask before taking photos of artisans or their work, a small purchase often makes them happy to pose.
- Arrive early to watch weavers starting their day's baskets, the process is fascinating and less rushed.
- Skip the mass-produced items near the entrance and walk to the back stalls for higher quality handmade goods.
- Bring small bills, many artisans cannot make change for large notes on slow days.
