Our Lab preserves ancient techniques, empowers artisans, and builds a local artisan ecosystem rooted in heritage.
Revitalizing Traditions
Pottery Lab and Hue Lab together form a powerful engine for preserving and revitalizing Hausa artisanal traditions: Pottery Lab is dedicated to researching ancient clay sources, glazes, and firing techniques, hosting residencies, and engaging the community in workshops, and staging exhibitions that bridge heritage and innovation. Hue Lab supports every stage of Hausa textile heritage, from generational weaving methods and natural dye cultivation to design incubation and marketplace development while also giving artisans business skills so they can sustain their craft economically.
