Authentic Bogolanfini

Contact Tasteful Textiles



 

 

 

We are located in a small close-knit community, whose extent of the cultural arts takes them only as far as their neighborhood. We would like to open their eyes and perceptions to more possibilities, especially the young children in the community. 

One of our goals is to open our shop to the public and offer workshops to enable anyone in the community who has a desire to come and create (and possibly market) their crafts in partnership with us. Who knows, maybe we can inspire another artist to become as famous as Picasso or Harriet Powers!!

WHO WE ARE...

Two sisters, Kathleen (Kitty) Tibbs and Audrey J. Dinkins, share their love of the arts and crafts to form their company, Tasteful Textiles, in April 2017.

 

WHY WE ARE...

We bonded together to form our company, Tasteful Textiles, to showcase our love for the arts and crafts by applying the uniqueness and artistic meanings of Bogolanfini mud cloth and other textiles on canvas and other media.

We are located in a small close-knit community, whose extent of the cultural arts takes them only as far as their neighborhood. We would like to open their eyes and perceptions to more possibilities, especially the young children in the community.
