You'll learn how to make practical items like kete and rope from natural materials, locally sourced from te taio (the environment). Phil from Urban Ark will weave in (short) stories about each plant species used and place them in the context of our local environmental restoration activities and Rewa will teach you about their rongoa (medicinal) properties. Kawa kawa tea will be provided.Rewa comes from a line of weavers and artists and has been teaching for 12 years.
