Teave
Kiired faktid: Rohkem kui 50 kohalikku käsitöölist müüvad oma töid väikestest puitputkadest, mis on paigutatud korralikesse ridadesse. Küla on saanud nime küpressipuude järgi, mis kunagi kasvasid seal, kus nüüd asub Kigali keskturg.
Esiletõstmised: 72-aastane meisterkorvipunuja nimega Gaudence istub iga päev oma putkas, kasutades kiudude värvimiseks looduslikke värvaineid avokaadolehtedest ja sibulakoortest. Ta õppis tehnika oma vanaemalt ja suudab väikese korvi valmis teha vähem kui kahe tunniga, vesteldes külastajatega kogu aeg.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
