African Art

Ali Guindo is one of the weavers who weave cotton to make into mudcloth clothing and accessories.  He weaves the fabric, and then it is taken to a painter, who paints the designs onto the fabric. Ali Guindo is from the Dogon ethnic group and works in a little village called Somo, in the Dogon area of Mali, West Africa.  Because he lives in such a remote area (where many foreign buyers don’t venture to go), finding him to make some of the mudcloth fabric was a great way for him to increase his business.  It also insures that we get the highest quality of fabric.
