Adire

description Adire Overview

Adire is a Yoruba resist-dyed textile tradition associated particularly with southwestern Nigeria. Artisans create patterns on cloth before dyeing it with indigo, using methods that include tying, stitching, folding, stenciling, or applying a cassava-starch resist that blocks the dye. Adire textiles feature geometric, figurative, and named motifs and are made for clothing, household use, ceremonial contexts, and contemporary fashion and art.
