Natural Barkcloth

Barkcloth is an unusual leather-like cloth which is beaten out from the inner bark of the African fig tree. The tree thereafter regenerates, thus producing a cash crop for the villagers and a splendid resource for the textile artist. In Africa, barkcloth is the apparel of both celebration and mourning. PLEASE NOTE, this is a handmade product and each sheet is unique and may include stitching where it has been made into one piece, we recommend you order enough sheets to complete projects and we will endeavour to match each as closely as possible. 3 sizes
