My name is Alassane Diop. I am an artist who dies cloths and sells them. I learned this trade from my mother. From a very young age this trade fascinated me, I was always very moved to watch her put so many colors on a single cloth. I graduated high school though could not continue my education, because my aging parents could not afford it. Since then, I chose a career in dying cloths, which allows me to make a living and take care of my parents. I make and die bed sheets, blankets, table cloths, shirts, and pants. I sell these products to make a living.
I've been working with cloth-dying (Batik) for over 10 years. This is a traditional manual craft that consists of putting different colors on a white cloth and then tailoring the cloth to make dresses, pants, bed sheets or table cloths. I also teach batik dying classes to people who are interested.
The loan that I would like to have will be used to produce traditional hand-dyed batik clothing. This is my trade, in which I have over ten years of experience. I would like to replace worn-out tools and equipment, and avoid ruptures of inventory - often clients come to buy clothing from me and find that I am out of stock.
je m'appelle alassane diop. je suis artiste teinturier. je fais ce metier que j'ai apris de ma mére, quand j'étais plus jeune ce métier me fascinait déja, j'étais trés ému quand elle arrivait a mettre a la fois plusieurs couleurs sur un meme tissu. j'ai eu une scolarité normale jusqu'en terminale, mes parents devenaient vieux et ne pouvaient plus payer ma scolarité j'ai été obligé d'arreter c'est ainsi ke j'ai chosi la teinture et qui me permet de gagner ma vie et a mon tour d'aider financiérement mes parents. je fait des draps de lit, housse de couette, nape de table débardeurs, chémises pantalons, que je vends pour gagner ma vie
la teinture (batik) est un travail que je fais depuis plus de 10 ans, c'est un travail manuel qui consiste a mettre differentes couleurs sur un tissu blanc aprés, le tailler pour avoir une robe, chemise, pantalon, draps de lit, nappe de table... je donne également des cours de teinture a des personnes interressées.
