Exploring Tapa

We've been exploring traditional tapa/siapo designs from Tonga and Samoa and investigating the process of tapa making.  Our school was gifted a beautiful piece so we were able to have a closer look at it and also touch the cloth to feel its texture.  We discussed the designs and what they represented.  Over the next few weeks we're going to be creating our own replica piece of tapa using a mixture of traditional elements along with personal designs.  Watch this space!
