Tiapapata Art Centre

Local Art Gallery

We enjoy dropping by the Tiapapata Art Centre, located next to the Bahia Temple.  They not only have art displays, but also have cooking demonstrations and classes.  
 



Art Centre and Fale where they teach classes and have cooking demonstrations . 











It is fun to enjoy a frozen yogurt and enjoy the art  



Visiting Artist - (retired Art Teacher from Sweden)

A visiting artist was doing some pottery pieces of a Samoan Woman.  He would turn them on the pottery wheel and the his wife and the studio owner would glaze them.  The pieces were then fired using a RAKU process.  We got to visit them during the turning phase and just after the glazing phase of the pieces.

 

A Samoan Woman art piece Karen bought.



They also held classes for handicapped people and had some fun pieces as part of their therapy classes.
