Discover the beauty and meaning of Koloa, the treasured arts and crafts of Tonga, in this hands-on cultural workshop. Led by the Tongan Association of Canberra and Queanbeyan, the session explores the artistry behind ngatu (tapa cloth), fala (woven mats), and kato (woven baskets)—traditional creations rich with symbolism and history. Participants will learn about natural materials, intricate patterns, and the cultural stories woven into each piece. Perfect for all ages, this interactive experience celebrates heritage, creativity, and the enduring role of craft in Tongan identity. Join us for a unique opportunity to connect with living tradition.
