Learning About Tapa Cloth

As part of our Inquiry learning we have been looking at how traditional Tapa cloth is made. We watched a video showing the process, from stripping the bark from the mulberry tree through to the final pattern making and painting.  We thought it looked quite complicated. 
We practiced drawing some traditional patterns and then had a go at creating our own cultural patterns.  Our final task was to create our own class Tapa. We all worked very hard on it and we are both pleased and proud of how it has turned out.
