If you are familiar with henna, you would agree with its grace and loveliness. The Henna Art gallery in Stone Town is a place where you will see the dark paste being used to create some exquisite artwork. These include souvenirs, paintings, cards etc. The paintings largely follow the East African style of art. The artists are mainly local women from Stone Town and each artist has her own style of painting. Each artist will also use her own methods of using henna in her drawings. These artworks are modestly priced and make great gifting options and souvenirs.
