Years ago in the time of the Rwandan Kings, there once was a prince who decided to decorate his house by molding geometric shapes onto the wall of his hut using cow dung.  In time, this technique was developed into a popular form of traditional Rwandan art called “Imigongo.”  During your workshop, you will learn the history of Imigongo Art in Rwanda.  You will then paint your own chosen Imigongo (cow dung Art) to take away with you.
