CREATE A BOOK TOGETHER

Being Mana | Te Ora Mana Workshop 2 of 4

The Light Library invites you to create with us and help shape the third book in our Threads of Becoming series!

Join local author Emma Hinton and illustrator Nicky Hartley for hands-on workshops where you'll paint, layer, and story-make the next chapter of our bilingual storytelling journey.

Start by creating with natural pigments, painting your own image. Then gather in a creative circle to layer your artwork with others, weaving in words and stories that will form the pages of the book. Every brushstroke, every word, every colour you add becomes part of Being Mana.

As a co-creator, your name will be printed in the published book, and you'll receive a copy once it's released—plus a sneak peek limited edition print before publication.

Bring along: Your imagination, a love of stories, and a supervising caregiver.

Celebrate creativity and connection at this magical workshop for tamariki and whānau.

Ages: 6–12 and adults | All whānau welcome
Cost: $20 per child | $20 per adult | Caregivers free
