Production of
Adinkra Dye
First, the bark and roots
from the Badie and
Kuntunkuni Tree (located
in the Northern savanna),
must be collected
The bark must be broken into smaller pieces to speed the
softening processes
Smaller pieces
The roots are then
soaked in oil for
two days to soften
After is has been
soaked, it is pounded
until it becomes
shredded mush.
This can take a whole
day.
The bark is then boiled in
water until the brown color
seeps out of bark. The
solution will thickens as
2/3 of the water
evaporates.
Look: How has the
Adinkra process
changed by
“modern”
technology?
Now, your turn! Use the stamps and combs to create some Adinkra Cloth.
