Travel to traditional West African villages to study ancient symbols and techniques used in handmade clothing.  Follow the process of making handmade clothing from raw cotton, to spinning, weaving, dyeing, and stamping to produce clothing that lasts a lifetime.  In the tradition of the Akan and Ashanti people of Ghana, print your own strip of adinkra cloth using our authentic symbol stamps representing proverbs.  Not just decorative cloth, it also tells a story when you’re finished.
