Tūngia te ururua kia tupu whakaritorito te tupu o te harakeke.
Set the overgrown bush alight and the new flax shoots will spring up.
Nau mai haere mai, all are welcome to attend our tuakana - teina style rāranga classes. You will walk away with woven taonga at the end of this class no matter what level of learner you are. It is important that everyone turns up on time for karakia (blessing).
TEINA (Beginners)
As a beginner you will be introduced to tikanga rāranga, how to hauhake (harvest), and begin with putiputi (flowers), kōnae (two sided kete), and kono (four sided kete). For tikanga purposes, beginners’ tickets close at midnight THREE days before wānanga. This gives us time to hauhake for you. Tickets are fully refundable and feel free to contact us via email.
TUAKANA (Intermediate Learners)
Intermediate tauira are expected to hauhake for themselves. You will be introduced to multiple ways to close kono and move onto waikawa style weaving. During this time you may learn tākiri, kōhua, and more advanced kete, and other taonga depending on your personal commitment to practice.
