Rwandan Crafts

Collage of Traditional Rwandan Crafts


Pottery - traditionally a skill of BaTwa people is now widely practiced and a wide range of products is now sold on markets.
Basketwork - very intricate and any design and size can be done to order.
Drums & Calabash - some more examples of the traditional crafts


Rwandan art & crafts also include batiques, paintings, wood & stone sculptures and carvings. In addition to this a wide variety of household items and furniture are also made and sold by individuals with their own businesses and/or through co-operatives set up for the artisans.
