Arts and crafts Dakar

Whether they are made of natural fibres, cotton, linen or paper, Johanna Bramble's creations reveal singular patterns with colours that are sometimes bright and sometimes discreet. It is in the garden of her workshop that Senegalese weavers reproduce her designs on a traditional loom. Lampshades, cushions, bags, curtains or even loincloths, these works of art surprise by the traditional techniques used, embellished with a more contemporary personal touch.

Created in 1961, this village is a good place to get an idea of what the country's craftsmen produce. Grouped by professional category, the artisans exhibit a wide range of sculpted works. You'll also find all types of leather goods (cow, snake, goat, crocodile) and jewelry. Unfortunately, the place has become very touristy, and prices are often unreasonable. Bargaining is the order of the day, as is harassment from the touts.
