Crimson Roots Mudcloth / Bogolan Fabric
$116.20
Mudcloth is a centuries-old, hand-dyed textile art originating in Mali, West Africa. Known locally as Bògòlanfini, authentic mudcloth takes weeks to create, with each piece built up through one to two applications of richly pigmented riverbed mud onto undyed cotton cloth. Handmade. 100% cotton. Fabric Details: Approximate dimensions: 67 x 42 inches Due to the handmade nature of this fabric, slight variations in pattern, a faint organic scent, minor dust presence, or small spacing irregularities within the weave may naturally occur. Colours may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions. Process: Cotton strips are woven on narrow looms, then stitched together into larger cloths. The cloth is soaked in a dye bath made from mashed and boiled leaves of the n’gallama tree, turning it a rich yellow before it is sun-dried. Designs are then hand-painted using fermented riverbed mud, carefully and repeatedly applied to trace intricate motifs. Depending on the colorway, additional treatments are used to set, lighten, or remove dye from unpainted areas, producing the finished cloth’s characteristic contrast between pattern and ground.
