This workshop introduces the custom and tradition of fabric making in Fiji. Students will learn about how the traditional fabric “Masi” is made and how geometric patterns are applied using traditional dyes made from clay and the sap of the Mangrove Tree. “Masi” is an example of “living off the land.” This workshop emphasizes the importance of sustainable living. Students will create geometric designs similar to Fijian patterns on paper.
