Kete Waikawa Weaving for Matariki with Heather Steadman

About this Event

Come and celebrate Matariki with us and learn to harvest harakeke with appropriate tikanga.
Then we will be making ‘kete waikawa’ with Heather and Jacque.

Please bring a plate of kai for a shared lunch.

ABOUT

Heather Steadman studied raranga (harakeke weaving) at Waikato Institute of Technology, and at marae from Kawhia to Rotorua. She is involved with the Waitaha Executive Grandmothers Council which focuses on water issues down south (38 rivers), conservation organisations near home and rongoa rakau (tree medicine).

This is an intermediate level weaving class, but no prior experience necessary.

The workshop will be taking place at the Green Bay Community House as making these larger baskets requires more space.

Workshop max 10
