Cane (Wewal) craftsmanship in Sri Lanka is a centuries-old tradition deeply rooted in the islands artisanal heritage. The craft is particularly associated with Weweldeniya, a small town in the Gampaha district, often referred to as the City of Cane due to its long history of cane weaving. The knowledge and skills required for this craft are typically passed down through generations, preserving techniques that have been refined over time. At our workshop, you will be guided by Shane, a passionate and generational cane weaver from Weweldeniya who has been a master at this craft for over twenty years. Discover the meditative and immersive art of traditional cane weaving as you craft your own piece. Whether you're weaving a mini basket, a hairband, or another design, this workshop offers a beautiful way to connect with heritage craftsmanship. By joining this workshop, you craft your own unique Wewel creation and contribute to preserving this valuable cultural tradition.
