Weaving with Harakeke

Tutor: Michelle Barrett
Cost: $10

We provide all materials including harakeke (flax).  
Learn the correct kawa (protocols) of cutting harakeke, preparing, weaving and leave with a finished product.

 Come along and experience making something from natural fibres in a supportive and fun environment.

Attend one or as many as you like.  If you attend more that one workshop you can begin to learn the skills so you can remember when you are by yourself at home – and independently make a kono or konae.

Bring food to share for lunch.
