Who hasn't played with mud as a child? Enjoy it again...
Bogolan is a craft unique to Mali. It involves applying wet clay (from the riverbed right at the Sandcastle's doorstep) to a hand-woven cotton cloth — either with your hands, wooden sticks and/or brushes. The bogolan can be used as a bedspread, blanket, cushion cover, drape, rug or even for clothing.

During this one-week bogolan workshop you will learn to make your own drawings and patterns. To obtain different colors, local plants are used to make dye. It's a skill that takes patience, dexterity and a good color sense. But above all, bogolan painting is fun! After applying the clay we'll rinse the bogolan in the river stream, with our bare feet in the water. At the end of the week all the bogolans will be exhibited, and then you can take it home.
