Creative Pacific share their talents in workshops
Some of the participants who showed up Saturday for the fashion and design workshop hosted by Taupou Manaia and the founders of Creative Pacific, Ben-jamin Powell and Afa Ah Loo, just wanted to try out something new.
They came away inspired and equipped with basic techniques to turn a piece of fabric into a head-turning creation.
