Spend the day at Te Kona Digital, Business & Learning Hub this Matariki and create your own whale’s tooth out of bone in this tikanga based contemporary workshop!

Presented by Aotearoa Bone and Stone, participants will be introduced to a new skill set through the carving design process, using grinders, drills, wet and dry sanding techniques and polishing tools. Then learn some lashing and binding techniques used traditionally throughout Polynesia.

This workshop sells out each year and is back due to popular demand, with the added bonus of a workshop in Kaikohe for the first time! The wananga will be held at Te Kona Digital, Business & Learning Hub, an amazing local venue. This workshop has been subsidised with funding from Creative Communities Far North and the support of Te Kotahitanga E Mahi Kaha Trust (TKEMKT) to make it more accessible for our Mid-North community.

Maximum of 10 participants. All day workshop. Suitable ages 16+
This event is presented as part of the Matariki Pēwhairangi Festival 2024
