**CANCELLED** Matariki Stars - Creative Kids
Event description
** CANCELLED SAT 22 JUNE **
Come and celebrate Matariki with EcoMatters and author/artist Emma Hinton in this contemplative children's workshop.
Join us to take a walk, linking ourselves with a string to symbolise our collective journey.
Along the way, we'll pause to add natural treasures to our thread.
Upon returning, we'll decorate recycled frames with the nine Matariki stars, using our connecting thread and weave in layers of colours to reflect each star.
- The finished pieces will be exhibited at EcoMatters throughout the Matariki season.
- Children will each take home an additional Matariki star for their whānau.
(Next year we'll unwind the threads and repurpose the artwork in the garden, allowing the string to return to the earth. Then, we'll create new stars for a fresh display).
