Family activity - I did this activity with my mom during her visit in Rwanda. It was perfect, she really liked it, felt the immersion in the culture and took her tiny basket home.

Gained new beading skills from a great teacher - Delphine was very kind and patient helping me to learn new beading skills. She provided options for what I wanted to make and skillfully taught me what to do. I have a beautiful bracelet to take home.

Weaving baskets in the garden 😍 - This was an absolutely brilliant experience. My lovely (and very patient) teacher, Sandrine, sat in the garden with me and showed me how to make a little basket. It felt so good to make something with my hands and I felt very relaxed once I got into the groove. I want to make more! I highly recommend this experience and Nuttin To Do as a whole. They are very professional, friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience.

Basket weaving in Kigali - The traditional basket weaving class was a wonderful, relaxing experience. We sat on the porch, overlooking a green valley, with needles and dried reeds in our hands, learning the craft from the very patient Sandrin (if I spelled the name right). I only wished I could stay longer.

Highly recommended fun experience of Rwandan tradition. - I went to this Rwandan traditional basket making experience with a couple of friends. It was sooo much fun to make one by my own hands. Staff were super nice and very well experienced craft makers. The place was full of wonderful arty things that you can also parchase if you like some of them. I would definitely come back to the second hand craft experience :)
