I want to learn how to make the local baskets. Are there workshops in the northern province for international tourists.

Accepted Answer

The Palmyra Development Board in Jaffna city hosts daily workshops for travelers. You can learn the basics of weaving dried leaves into baskets or hats. It is a great way to support local northern artisans. For a more authentic experience, there are community centers in Point Pedro that offer half day sessions including a local lunch.
