MUDCLOTH

The Taaru Majeure Mudcloth handcrafted and from Mali was made by weaving together thin strips of plain fabric into squares. These squares were then stitched together. The fabric was then dipped in water containing leaves and branches such that the dye binds to the fabric.

The fabric was then sun-dried. It was later painted with beautiful patterns. These patterns were made using a special kind of mud. This special mud was collected from different ponds and streams. It was then left to ferment over seasons.
