Activity itinerary

Time to start: 15:00 Creating a complete and visually stunning traditional outfit involves numerous meticulous steps, including spinning linen, weaving fabric on a loom, painting intricate beeswax designs, dyeing with indigo, and embroidering vibrant patterns. Each step is essential, but the beeswax painting process is particularly intricate, requiring dexterous skill honed over generations. This step also invites personal creativity, enabling artisans to develop unique patterns that reflect their artistic vision. The process begins with selecting high-quality beeswax, which is melted at a controlled temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius to maintain its fluidity. The painting tool is traditionally a slender bamboo or wooden stick, approximately 7 to 10 cm long, with a triangular metal tip. The thinner the tip, the finer and more detailed the resulting patterns. Maintaining a consistent flow of wax during application is crucial to ensure smooth and continuous designs.
