We visited the National
Artisan’s workshop to interview a woman named Dao Djeneba, who makes clothes
for the Tigoung Nonma shop. We congratulated her on our most popular product of
the week, which won most likes online. We then asked her many questions about
why she chose this career, what inspired her to, what difficulties she has as
an artisan with a disability, what customers are like when buying her products,
what she wishes to improve and more. All
volunteers participated in the interview either taking notes, filming, asking
questions and or reviewing more of her work. It amazed me how hard they work,
and what gorgeous clothing they make from scratch. She and her colleagues dye
all material first starting from white with the use of many substances like
plants, seeds etc. They showed us what tools they use to print, using simple
crafting tools and no machinery.

We couldn’t help but wonder and take a look at all the shops, workshops, craft stalls and galleries whilst we were there. I also, cannot begin to mention how friendly everyone was with loads of smiles and enthusiasm to show us there lovely work!
