African designs on canvas bag
Symbols are communication methods used around the world in various cultures, from indigenous peoples to ancient Egypt, the Mayans, to the Nazca lines of Peru seen only from aircraft, and many others. Participants will be using hand cut Adinkra symbols from West Africa to create a one-of-a-kind cotton tote bags to use for shopping or to give as a gift. Handouts will be provided to identify the meanings associated with the African symbols. In the tradition of Senufo mud cloth, the printing colors are black and shades of brown. Acrylic paint does not wash out. Please wear old clothes and/or an apron.
