Weaving Workshop

Celebrate the Lupe I Vao Ese exhibition and Heritage Festival with Pasifika creative Jessie Atutolu-Tulisi. Learn how to make a Pasifika lei using ribbon and beads! Just in time for graduation/prizegiving season. In this workshop you will learn simple weaving techniques while enjoying a bit of talanoa around Pasifika weaving and crafts. This workshop is perfect for teens and adults who want to connect with Pasifika culture and get creative! No experience necessary.  

Jessie Atutolu-Tulisi is a Niuean, Tongan, and Samoan artist who finds connection to culture through movement, craft, and community. Growing up as a mixed Pasifika person, they’ve always embraced the importance of being able to learn language and culture through the arts - from dance to weaving to making traditional crafts. Their practice is rooted in sharing knowledge, celebrating creativity and creating spaces where other young mixed Pasifika peoples can explore their identities with pride.
