Thiès craft circuit

The craft village is a starting point for exploring materials and handmade techniques. The 2024 photographs show game-board and bag making in Thiès. Choose a route around the open workshops; the presence of a particular artisan or a demonstration is not guaranteed.

Things to see and do

• Observe a production step with the artisan’s permission.
• Ask about material origins and care instructions.
• Compare objects and agree on the price before buying.

Good to know

Ask before photographing people and their work. Availability, price and timing for a lesson or commission must be agreed directly.
