Learn about Adinkra printing and try it yourself with artist Nana-Essi in this family workshop (part of Black History Month).

Adinkra translates from the Akan word “nkra” meaning “goodbye” or “farewell”. The cloth was worn primarily for funerals by Ashanti royalty and traditional spiritual leaders. Its use is more diverse now and people wear Adinkra cloths for child naming, marriage, installation of chiefs and queen mothers. The symbols on the Adinkra fabrics determine the occasions and places/locations to which the cloths are worn.

Booking essential, £7.50 per child. See Tickets below.
