In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the cultural history and symbolism behind this powerful textile tradition while creating our own patterned cloth using earth-based dyes.Participants will design and dye a cotton bandana using painting techniques inspired by traditional Bogolanfini methods.Because the fabrics require special preparation ahead of time, all materials will be provided.

Her profound connection with the natural world fuels her inquisitive spirit, leading her to explore the relationship between humanity, art, and nature.
