Bark Cloth Art Workshop

Masi, ngatu, hiapo, siapo, tapa, kapa - there are as many ways to decorate bark cloth as there are Moana islands. Join us to create designs from around the Pacific, using different techniques including stencilling, rubbing, printing and painting. The final part of the workshop will be for participants to work on a large collaborative masi.

Wear clothes for painting or bring a smock.

This event is part of programming for our current Heritage collections exhibition: Waitui Ātea Saltwater Realm.

Meet us in front of the VĀ display in the Atrium on the Second Floor.
