A BARK CLOTH IS A UNIQUE CLITH, MADE FROM A TREE BARK AS THE NAME SUGGESTS. ITS A TRADITIONAL CLOTH FROM BUGANDA KINGDOM WHOSE DISCOVERY DATES BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF COTTON IN BUGANDA/UGANDA.
IT WAS OUR CLOTHING, BEDING, ETC, IN THE VERY YOUNG AGE OF THE KINGDOM.
IT NOW REMAINS AS A CEREMONIAL WEAR LIKE IN THE CORONATION OF KINGS.
IT IS ON THIS UNIQUE CLOTH THAT I APPLY THE WATER-BASED PAINT (MIXED WITH CARPENTERS GLUE TO MAKE IT FOREVER ON THE FABRIC) INTERCHANGEBLY WITH OTHER AFRICAN FABRICS LIKE BITENGI, TO SHOWCASE A COMPLETE FEEL AND TOUCH OF AFRICA!
