Local Painting Workshop

Matson is one of those quietly gifted artists you meet only by being in the right place. In a small workshop in town, he'll introduce you to a few of the techniques he uses — colour layering, texture, motifs drawn from Usambara village life — and then set you loose on your own canvas.

Don't worry about being a painter. The point is the afternoon, the conversation, and the piece of art you take home. Please book at least 24 hours in advance.
