For the last couple of Wednesday morning, we have been learning about siapo art.
One of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa is the Siapo or Tapa. It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It is very time-consuming, because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used. It is then laid out in the sun to dry.

2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
