About this Event

🌿 Waikawa Basket Workshop 🌿

Join us for a weaving workshop where you’ll learn to create a waikawa, a beautiful and practical woven basket with a unique style. This taonga is both functional and decorative, and is a wonderful next step for those wanting to grow their raranga skills.

In this workshop you will:

  • Be guided step by step through the process of weaving a waikawa
  • Learn traditional techniques and tikanga connected to raranga
  • Create your own completed basket to take home

✨ Please note: This workshop is a little more advanced than our introductory classes. Having some prior experience with weaving will be helpful – especially if you’ve made a kono or konae (four-corner or two-corner basket) before. If you’re comfortable with basic weaving skills, you’ll find this the perfect opportunity to extend your learning.

📍 Location: 186 Shaw Avenue, New Brighton, Christchurch
🗓️ Date & Time: 22/10/2025 10am-3pm

Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your place in this special wānanga.
