MUD CLOTH (Bògòlanfini or bogolan - "mud cloth")
Mud Cloth is made using an ancient and extensive process. The fabric is all hand spun making a number of individual cloth strips. Each strip of cloth is then sewn together. The entire piece of fabric is then dyed in tea made from Bogalon tree found in Mali, West Africa. The tea acts as a fixative for mud painted designs that are hand painted using specially prepared mud. Some buying parts of the fabric are then bleached after the entire process is complete to produce the white areas.
The making of mud cloth is a time-consuming process, normally taking four days to a week to complete depending on the weather. Each piece is made of 100% cotton and is completely and totally hand-made. Normally mud cloth is made totally from scratch. The men start the process by weaving cotton thread on a loom. From then on the women have traditionally painted and designed the cloth.
A mud cloth artist is much like any western artist dealing in a specific field. Each concept must be taught and learned over a long period of time

Please note due to handmade process the mud cloth patterns may vary slightly from the photo.

Please keep in mind that colors may vary among computer screens, our best efforts have been made to represent the true color.
