Whakakai/adornment workshop with Arawhetu Berdinner

Arawhetu will guide you in making your own adornment using materials gifted from te taiao, such as shells and muka. She will demonstrate how to whiri, plait two-twists, and how to tie off a cord for adornment. We anticipate outcomes of this workshop to be a necklace or hair adornment. 

Materials for this workshop are provided, but we invite you to bring along any light weight taonga you may have collected from te taiao (small driftwood, stones or shells with a hole etc). 

Light refreshments after the workshop will be provided.

Capacity for this workshop is limited.

This workshop is in connection to our current exhibition, Adorn yourself accordingly, curated by Brooke Pou and featuring Arawhetu Berdinner, Bailey Gardner, and Te Māreikura Whakataka-Brightwell.
