O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Več kot 50 lokalnih obrtnikov prodaja svoje izdelke iz majhnih lesenih stojnic, urejenih v čiste vrste. Vas je dobila ime po vrsti cipres, ki so nekoč rasle na mestu, kjer zdaj stoji središčna tržnica Kigalija.
Poudarki: 72-letna mojstrica pletenja košar po imenu Gaudence dnevno sedi pri svoji stojnici, pri čemer uporablja naravna barvila iz avokadovih listov in čebulnih lupin za barvanje vlaken. Tehniko se je naučila od svoje babice in lahko dokonča majhno košaro v manj kot dveh urah, medtem ko se ves čas pogovarja z obiskovalci.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
