Tentang
Fakta cepat: Lebih dari 50 pengrajin lokal menjual karya mereka dari kios-kios kayu kecil yang tersusun rapi. Desa ini mendapatkan namanya dari jenis pohon cemara yang pernah tumbuh di tempat di mana pasar pusat Kigali sekarang berdiri.
Sorotan: Seorang penganyam keranjang master berusia 72 tahun bernama Gaudence duduk di kiosnya setiap hari, menggunakan pewarna alami dari daun alpukat dan kulit bawang untuk mewarnai seratnya. Ia mempelajari teknik tersebut dari neneknya dan dapat menyelesaikan keranjang kecil dalam waktu kurang dari dua jam sambil mengobrol dengan pengunjung sepanjang waktu.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
