Te Motu Kairangi, with the support of Houghton Valley Community Hall, warmly invites you to:
Monthly Flax Weaving Wānanga
Experience the joy of learning, sharing, and reconnecting with the art of weaving.
Whether you’re a first-time weaver or returning to refresh your skills, all are welcome. We’ll cover basic weaving techniques and tikanga (customs) and provide a supportive, creative space to connect with Māori arts and crafts alongside others.
💚 What to Bring
• New weavers: 5–10 rau (blades) of harakeke, sharp scissors,
• an old towel (if you have one)
• Bring a bag, as you must take away leftover harakeke
• Returning weavers: 30–40 rau of harakeke and your weaving tools
• Some tools are available to borrow
• Shared kai (snacks) welcome but not required
• Please take any leftover harakeke home with you
💚 Koha appreciated, not required
If you would like to support the kaupapa, please email us at temotukairangi.huihui@gmail.com for koha details.
Come and enjoy weaving, learning, and connection in a beautiful, relaxed setting.
