Proudly brought to you by the Waipā Waste Minimisation Community Fund!
In this workshop, The ReCreators will teach you about woodwork and how to safely use tools. You will head home with your own beautiful kauri platter!
This will be an enriching and hands-on workshop where you'll craft a platter from recycled native kauri wood. This event is perfect for woodworking enthusiasts and beginners alike who are interested in sustainable practices and creating functional art.
Learn how to properly sand, treat, and finish your platter to ensure it's food-safe and long-lasting. We'll cover different finishing options and techniques to protect and enhance the wood's natural beauty.
