    Join Kahu Collective for a fun and creative harakeke weaving workshop.

    Designed for tamariki aged 8 and up, this hands-on workshop will teach you how to weave your very own putiputi (flax flower). We will be using harakeke, a beautiful and sustainable natural resource. Along the way, you’ll also learn about the tikanga (customs) and history of harakeke, connecting to the traditions of our tūpuna.

    This is a great opportunity for tamariki to explore Māori weaving, develop new skills, and connect with te taiao (the natural world) in a fun and supportive environment.

     

    This event is part of our April 2025 School Holiday Fun programme.
