About the event
You’ll be guided through tikanga raranga, respectful harvesting of harakeke, and the foundational skills needed to prepare and work
with natural materials, building confidence as you create your own woven art pieces.
These workshops run from August to December, with 2 weekend sessions per month, allowing time to grow your skills and knowledge at a comfortable pace. Spaces are limited, so claim your spot now and learn from well-known local weaver Vicki Hiha, whose expertise and passion make this an inspiring and supportive learning experience.
