Senegalese Decorative Arts Manufactures

Look at the yarn, patterns and weavers’ techniques to understand how a drawing becomes a tapestry. The photographs show the Thiès Manufactures workshops in April 2024. They document the craft and do not guarantee current workshop access. Ask which rooms and works are accessible on your visit.

Things to see and do

• Observe a loom if access is allowed.
• Compare the textures, colours and patterns of accessible works.
• Ask about the stages of weaving.

Good to know

Confirm opening times, access and any admission fee with the institution. Do not touch looms or artworks; ask before taking photographs.
