Students will render a design on their t-shirts with mud (imported from Mali, West Africa) – by painting it on with hands or through the use of stencils. Their 100% cotton white or pale coloured t-shirts must be provided a week in advance in order for a traditional (and organic) pre-treatment made from steeped leaves to be applied. After the class has completed applying the mud the t-shirts will be taken home by Ssasi and returned washed (to remove the mud) and dried. This can be the following day or arrangements can be made to wash them at the school.
