In this free workshop as part of the Lyttelton Arts Festival 2022 Kaiako/Tutor Damian Mackies presentation will provide korero about the customary practices used by carvers and the Toi Principles used in the creation of whakairo.

Although using whakairo/traditional wood carving as the vehicle, these toi principles can be transferred to other areas of arts both traditional and non-traditional, to help any artist bring their creative vision into reality.

Born in Wakatipu and a descendant of Ngāti Kura, Damian’s kaupapa toi skill set encompasses Whakairo, Ta Moko and Rauangi (visual art).
Damian is a graduate of Maunga Kura Toi, Bachelor of Māori Art – Whakairo, and has been employed as Kaiwhakairo at the Whakaraupō Carving Centre Trust.

1pm - 2.45pm including break.

Free - bookings essential.
