Top Dar es Salaam Classes & Workshops

This tour is unique as you will get to learn about the tinga tinga paintings and how they got to be, they are original from Tanzania, and only found around East Africa. Furthermore you will get to learn how to paint them from the painters themseleves.The painters lovingly make their work, and it can be challenging to make ends meet in such a labour-intensive and competitive field. These tinga tinga paintings are one of a kind. Paintings are handmade. Like handmade clothes or furniture, paintings show the hand of their maker so you can add a touch of personality to the home. Mass produced items cannot compete with that.

This will be also a unique opportunity to meet the most creative and inspirational women of Tanzania. This will include the artists of Tinga Tinga Art Market; the highly skilled disabled sculptors of Wonder Workshop renowned for their spectacular models made from recycled materials; and local fashion designer Kemi Kalikawe. There will be an opportunity to purchase unique pieces of African art to take back home.
