Tambacounda Craft Village

Tambacounda Artisan Village brings together workshops and display spaces dedicated to local crafts, including sculpture, weaving, dyeing, jewellery and leatherwork. Activity levels and the number of artisans present may vary, so it is best to prepare the visit and speak directly with the makers.

Things to see and do

• Meet the artisans present and learn about their techniques
• Compare materials, finishes and intended uses before buying
• Ask about the story and production time behind each piece
• Buy directly from the maker whenever possible

Good to know

Confirm opening times and current activity before travelling. Ask the price before ordering, agree clearly on delivery time for custom work, and request permission before photographing anyone or their work.
