Folake Adeyemi photographs cloth. Yorùbá Textiles took eight years, two hundred plates, and the patience of every dyer in Abeokuta.
She includes the dye recipes, which several colleagues told her not to.

The plates are worth it alone
Colour reproduction on the adire plates is superb. Including the dye recipes was brave and correct. Warning: it is genuinely heavy.
