Weave a rainbow:
Weave fabric strips under and over to capture a spectrum of colours and textures.

Our Mounga:

Screen me:
Transform yourself into a living movie screen. Walk away with a colourful hat or mask that captures the colours and patterns of Len Lye films in pastel and dye.

Wed 15 Jul
Star Map:
Inspired by Pasifika star maps and Tapa making, devise your own guide to Puanga and Matariki using pigments and stencils.

Thu 16 Jul
Stencil and paint:
Experiment using everyday utensils and tools, as stencils to paint and mark uniquely patterned movie posters.

Fri 17 Jul
Te Whānau Mārama / The Family of Light:
Learn about the night sky in Te Ao Māori then use pastel on fabric to create flags or hangings with the planets and their movement as inspiration.
