This week’s celebration is centered around the Polynesian island country Samoa. Samoan artist Kuulei Jakubczak is one of the instructors teaching guests how to design a radial pattern like the traditional Samoan art form Siapo. It’s one of the oldest Samoan cultural art forms and involves creating patterns on barkcloth or tapa.
