What to expect
Cultural immersion, an engaging session on Ikirago carpet weaving. The session is carried out in the traditional weaving studio, making it real and as intimate for you to learn and weave Ikirago. The first step is getting familiar with the history and importance of the Ikirago carpet from a cultural point of view. You will learn the stories that lie behind the patterns and colors used for these beautiful pieces of art. After that, you will get down to the real deal: weaving. Learn the basics of weaving through a 3-hour experience using sisal fiber with traditional methods handed down over generations. We will then learn those techniques and try creating our own mini Ikirago carpet. Our weavers will be on hand at every stage to assist you and offer their own experience.
