Join us for a rich and supportive introduction to Kete Whakairo (patterned kete). No prior weaving experience is needed—this course begins with the basics and builds skills over the term.
What you’ll learn:
- Harakeke harvesting and preparation
- Foundational and advanced weaving techniques
- Reading and understanding patterns and their meanings
- Dyeing techniques
- Learning grounded in Māori culture and values
This course is more than just weaving. It’s a welcoming space for connection, creativity, mental well-being, and cultural enrichment. By the end of the term, students will feel confident weaving independently and creating their own kete.
What to bring:
Please bring some food to share for a shared lunch
Hot beverages will be provided.
