The town of Kpalime, nestled in the hills of Togo's Plateaux region, is the center of the country's artisanal craft production. Weavers, potters, batik artists, and woodcarvers work in workshops that overlook the coffee and cocoa plantations. The hills are cooler than the coast, the air smells like wet earth and flowers, and the market overflows with textiles, carvings, and jewelry that you will not find anywhere else. Kpalime is Togo's artistic soul, and every craftsman here is a teacher waiting for a student.
