djembe drum - an instrument
played all over Africa and now
by Western musicians too.
BOGOLAN ARTS
Learn the unique art of
bogolan or "mud cloth,"
an all-natural
eco-friendly art using
handmade dyes from
plant leaves and tree
bark. Bogolan originated
with the hunters, but
now it is popular in all
kinds of clothing,
decorations and bed
covers.
Learn to sculpt wood with
African themes and
techniques. Traditionally,
wooden sculpture carried the
traditions and history in its
carvings as a substitute for
writing. In Dogon culture, it
was through the sculpted
staff that people knew their
history. Today it is a way to
carry ideas and for aesthetic
decorations.
Learn the
vibrant art of
indigo dyeing.
Indigo cloth is
made from
100%
hand-spun
cotton and
dyed using
natural grass.
It is used to

and men's
clothing.
