Visit a woodcraft village and paint your own elephant
Activity
€ 1 - 50
Woodcrafting used to be done by a whole village. Nowadays with the upcoming industrialisation in the East, this craft seems to be at risk of disappearing. The new generation is less interested in learning the techniques which means there are only a dozen people left who have made it their profession.
You can go on a tour with Amila where he will show you how to make a little elephant, which you can paint afterwards yourselves.
Then he will take you around the village where you can see how all the families work together and use their different talents to create something beautiful.
This is a real authentic experience. You will be in people’s workshops at their homes, and see how woodcrafting has been taught from generation to generation.
