Crafts to discover Togo

Not far from Pya Pittah or a little further down the road, in Tcharé, are traditional forges. Train rails and truck rims are collected and then melted down. The metal is worked and shaped with a granite stone. The smiths make castanets, hoes or arrows for hunting. Their work can be appreciated on site. However, they are not always convenient when it comes to "leaving something".

The group hosts about 40 weavers who work on beautiful handmade looms. If you are lucky, you will be able to admire the work of some of them on site. In the store, you will find beautiful handicrafts: loincloths, dresses, men's clothes, traditional outfits, bags, scarves... Not far from the weavers, you will be able to appreciate the work of traditional blacksmiths.

Traditional weaving on crafts. A not to be missed.

For a unique, life-size experience in the shaping and decoration of traditional pottery, using ancestral know-how. The women go deep into the bush, digging deep holes to extract quality clay. They then make the pottery entirely by hand, before using a snail shell for the finishing touches. There's also the folklore of carrying the pottery on their heads to market in Tsévié.
