The Making of Mudcloth - To see African artisans click here! The making of mudcloth is a time-consuming process, normally taking
four days to a week to complete depending on weather. Each piece is made of 100% cotton, and is completely and totally
hand-made. The
men start the process by weaving cotton thread on a loom. The loom is normally hand-held and makes a strip of
cloth 5"-6" wide. After they weave around 9 panels they sew them together and then traditionally the women
paint and design the cloth.
A mudcloth artist deals in a specific field. Each concept is taught and learned over a long period of time. A person
wishing to work in the art of mudcloth has to be taught how to make each of the different dyes out of organic substances,
as well as how each of the substances will react with the fabric and fixatives.
The first step in making the cloth is to set it in a fixative solution made from tea. The mud designs
are then hand-painted and the tea sets into the fabric. Mud used to make mudcloth is usually mixed with water and
set aside for about a year. Using twigs or metal instruments
the artist paints the designs with the mud, saturating the area so it will not wash out. After being washed
the process is repeated and then dried and put in another solution to make patterns stand out more. On black and white fabric,
a soda is painted on the areas with no patterns causing then to be white. Mudcloth Products:
