Adire is a traditional Nigerian textile art form, primarily associated with the Yoruba people. It involves a unique dyeing technique where fabric, usually cotton, is decorated using resist methods. This means that certain areas of the fabric are protected from dye, creating intricate patterns and designs. The process of making Adire typically includes tying, stitching, or folding the fabric before dyeing it in indigo. The result is a vibrant and visually striking fabric that can be used for clothing, home decor, and other artistic expressions. Adire reflects the rich cultural heritage and creativity of the Yoruba community.
