Abigail Grace

STUDENT of Tilak High School Abigail Grace, 14, from Matuku in Lau recalls how she started drawing as early as seven years old.

“I’ve always wanted to know how to weave mats and this workshop gave me the opportunity. I was surprised with how quick and easy I was able to learn,” she said

Grace said she has always harboured a passion for art and craft. It was either drawing, painting or crafting

“I mentioned to my parents about my intention to further enhance my art skills. Both my parents agreed.

“Then there was an advertisement posted on Facebook and as soon as my mum saw it she told me about it and knew that it was going to be something that I would be interested in.”
