Basket-weaving with tī kōuka: Rekindle

This workshop is held at the Okains Bay Māori and Colonial Museum on Waitangi Day.

Please note that the workshop price does not include the $10 entry fee for adults to the museum (children $2, pre-schoolers are free). Please bring cash for this and please also note that this is the museum’s key fundraising day, so do come along and support them!

We are honoured to be taking part in Waitangi Day commemorations at Okains Bay on 6 February 2020. As part of this, we have been invited to present some workshops at the wonderful Okains Bay Māori and Colonial Museum.

This basket-weaving class is suitable for adults.

This course will give you a resourceful skill that you'll be able to use in so many ways for the rest of your life! This technique for basket-weaving can be used with many different materials. We will teach you how to use tī kōuka / cabbage tree leaves as these are abundantly available.

If you have access to tī kōuka / cabbage tree leaves, do bring in as big a bundle as you can! We would be most appreciative as we always need more of this valuable resource.

There are 10 places available in this workshop.
