Thiès Craft Village

Thiès craft village brings together the making and sale of handmade goods. Photographs taken on site in 2024 show craftspeople and different kinds of work; they offer a glimpse of local skills without promising that every workshop will be present on a future visit.

Things to see and do

  • Explore the objects and ask makers how they are produced
  • Discover woodwork and leather goods according to the workshops present
  • Compare pieces and agree prices directly with the seller
  • Ask craftspeople before photographing their work

Good to know

The selection and makers present may change. Respect workspaces, do not assume demonstrations or purchases are guaranteed, and check access locally.
