Adinkra Textiles

To supplement the previous post about Batik Lesson Plans, I thought I'd add some information about African Adinkra Symbols.  Traditionally Adinkra patterns are created with a resist method, similar to Batik, but a simple stamp-making exercise can easily replace the typical resist methods!  Photos of the stamp-making process can be seen on our flickr!
