Activity itinerary

Immerse yourself in Zulu culture by participating in an age old tradition of basket making. In this world of technology and mass production, it is such a joy to know that the craft of hand made items still exist and is carefully protected by the Zulu tribe and passed down from generation to generation. Every basket is made from indigenous materials and natural dyes. -A group of expert weavers will walk you through making your own basket. - We will begin by explaining the material/grass that we will be using. -We then will explain the technique used to create different basket patterns. - Your fingers will then begin making your own basket as we walk you through step by step of the process Our teachers are experts and very patient. The basket that you will make will be small and compact as well as easy to put together. You will begin putting your basket together and experiencing a day in the workshop. Finally you may take home your basket, making it a true collectors item. All colours are natural, obtained from boiling roots, leaves, berries and bark of indigenous flora. Many are seasonal.
