Led by Kahu Paki Paki (Te Ātiawa).
This full day practical workshop will introduce you to the world of Māori arts by going on a journey to make your very own kōauau or Māori flute. You will discover the tikanga and traditional stories that offer lessons from the past.
A rare opportunity to come into the realm of Tātou Studios, a fully equipped Māori arts workshop, studio and gallery that was opened in late 2025.
The afternoon finishes with lessons on how to play your kōauau.
