Description of this activity

Dive into the world of woodcarving in Toubab Dialaw, a coastal village renowned for its artistic life, artist workshops, and bohemian atmosphere. In the heart of a creative environment, you will discover an ancestral craft passed down by local artisans: shaping, carving, detailing, and finishing. This workshop, accessible to all, allows you to create your own carved piece using wood typical of the region.

The session begins with an introduction to materials and techniques: • presentation of the woods used (light wood, teak, root, ebony depending on availability), • traditional tools (gouges, chisels, knives, mallets), • West African motifs and symbols (masks, silhouettes, stylized animals).

Next, you watch a demonstration of essential techniques: • cutting and rough shaping, • shaping the main forms, • carving recesses and volumes, • detailing, • sanding and finishing.

Then comes the personal creation: You select a small beginner-friendly block of wood and create a simple piece, guided step by step by the artisan. Each participant progresses at their own pace: geometric shapes, small figurines, stylized heads, symbolic motifs…

The typical Toubab Dialaw ambiance — calm, artistic, and friendly — brings an inspiring atmosphere to the workshop. At the end of the session, you take home your carved creation, a unique memento of your visit to the village.
