O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Više od 50 lokalnih zanatlija prodaje svoje radove iz malih drvenih štandova poređanih u uredne redove. Selo je dobilo ime po vrsti čempresa koje su nekada rasle na mestu gde se danas nalazi centralna pijaca Kigalija.
Istaknuto: Sedamdesetdvogodišnja majstorica pletenja korpi po imenu Godans svakodnevno sedi na svom štandu, koristeći prirodne boje od listova avokada i luka za bojenje vlakana. Naučila je tehniku od svoje bake i može završiti malu korpu za manje od dva sata, pričajući sa posetiocima sve vreme.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
