Matiu uses traditional stone tools which he makes from stone adzes, files, rasps, sandstone, stone as well as steel. Natural materials such as wood, stone, bindings, earth pigments and flax fibres and are sourced from his local environment, the Wairoa district, to make both his tools and taonga puoro.
From 11.00am to 2.00pm there will be sustainable Matariki crafts for children and a free tour of He Tohu at 12 – 1.00pm.
About the speaker:
Ko te wai o Ruakituri te awa

Ko Ngati Hinganga te hapu
Ko Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairoa te iwi

Matiu Bartlett was born and raised in Wairoa and has been involved in making and playing taonga puoro since 2012.
Matiu has played taonga puoro and facilitated workshops at various national and international festivals and facilitated workshops and has had three solo exhibitions.

Our Council funding is at risk. Council staff have rejected our application for continued 3-year funding and have recommended a one-off grant for 6 months during which time they want us to completely redefine our services. This combined with the Council signalling the loss of our CAB premises means our very existence in Wellington is threatened.
There is still time to change Wellington councils mind. Lobby the council by signing our petition.
If you are willing to share your story of how we helped you, make contact your local bureau so we can arrange to have you interviewed.
If we are not there, where will the 31,000 people we helped last year go?
