Hosted in Airi Handmade's Studio in Watamu, just minutes from Watamu Beach, this intimate session invites you into the living archive of African maker material histories.
Rather than a surface-level cultural tour, you will engage directly with fibers, beads, baskets, and textiles while uncovering the design intelligence, ritual significance, and economic realities behind them.
Ideal for culturally curious travelers, design lovers, slow travelers, and thoughtful minds seeking depth, context, and meaningful connection beyond mainstream interpretations of Africa.
