Kua raranga tahi tātou he whariki mō āpōpō
Together we weave the mat for future generations

Nau mai haere mai, join our open weaving / making sessions at our Te Aro Studio.

Kōrari: We Stand tall and independent. An open, unguided studio space for more experience creative to work on personal projects and share space without a formal tutor.

These classes run fortnightly with daytime and evening  sessions available.

See here for more information on your weaving journey.

What’s included?

• Three-hour+ access to the space

• Access to wet space for whaikōhua (boiling)  and whaikāno (dyeing/colouring)

• Wifi and full kitchen access

• Light refreshments are provided, and we encourage you to bring kai to share

Hosted by Linda Lee (Ngāti Huia, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Kurī, Te Rarawa, Te Aupōuri).

On occasion, our raranga rangatira, Frank Topia (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Haua), will be here weaving too!

We are committed to upholding tikanga (protocols), nurturing the mātauranga (knowledge) and pūkenga (skills) of our growing weaving community.

We trust that you will uphold tikanga and share with others whilst in our space.
