In person / Workshop / Weaving
Indego Africa has worked with local plant fibers from Rwanda and Ghana for over 17 years. The evening will begin with a brief lecture, followed by a look at various plant manipulations and woven techniques before opening up the opportunity to experiment with raffia embroidery on some of our stock samples. Participants are welcome to shop from our collection on display in our showroom.
