Our Heritage...Bark Cloth!

I was mesmerized just reading about Ugandan bark cloth also known as Olubugo and how it has been preserved and used. This isa very special material and is one of the evolution wonders of Uganda! From traditional limitations to high end fashion designs,this trend is going strong!

Initially,all we ever heard about this Olubugo was the fact that traditional healers wore it during any ceremony and we all connected it or limited it to traditional but boy are we wrong!

I have seen beautiful designs from the bark cloth...from book covers to accessories to creative designs...wow... am swimming in an ocean of possibilities with my bark cloth and a head of ideas..jump in!


There a a variety of ways in which the bark cloth have played a huge role in art...depends on how creative one gets...
