Curated passage

Tibeb & Basketry — An Audience with the Makers

About 90 minutes

An afternoon with the tibeb weavers and mesob basket-makers of Wollo, whose work you'll recognise from around the resort. Sit with them, ask questions, and watch how the pieces are put together.

Provenance and passage

Artisan atelier

Wollo weaving & basketry makers

The tibeb panels, clustered mesob basketry and beadwork that recur through the resort — woven motifs of the highlands, retold by the artisans who make them.

The resort is, in quiet ways, a gallery of Wollo's hands. Woven tibeb panels, clustered mesob basketry, beadwork and carved wood recur through its rooms — not decoration so much as language.

Spend an afternoon with the makers. Watch a motif take shape on the loom, learn what its geometry has carried in the highlands for generations, and understand the building around you a little differently afterward.
