Arts and Crafts
Make, Create and Experience Culture
African art and craft traditions are rich with creativity, identity, history and meaning.
CultureTree brings these traditions to life through hands-on experiences that encourage participants to explore materials, patterns, colours and techniques while discovering the cultural stories behind them.
No artistic experience is needed. Come ready to make something of your own.
