Whakataua: An adornment workshop with Neke Moa

Create an adornment out of shells, fibre and other natural materials, with the guidance of Pōhatu Roa artist Neke Moa. Bring in any treasures that you’ve foraged – shells, sticks, stones – and create a wearable artwork out of them. Some shells and fibre will be supplied. There are a limited number of spaces available for this workshop, so make sure you register at https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/whakataua-an-adornment-workshop-with-neke-moa-tickets-1471532065019?aff=oddtdtcreator
