Monthly Raranga (Weaving) Gatherings
Te Motu Kairangi, with the support of Miramar Maupuia Community Centre, warmly invites you to:
Monthly Flax Weaving Wānanga
Experience the joy of learning, sharing, and reconnecting with the art of weaving.
Every second Sunday of the month | 11:00am – 5:00pm (pack-up from 4:30pm)
We meet on the Whare Tūmanako side of the building (far left of the main entrance — not the hall/office side).
Please take all unused harakeke home with you.
Whether you’re a first-time weaver or returning to refresh your skills, all are welcome. We’ll cover basic weaving techniques and tikanga (customs) and provide a supportive, creative space to connect with Māori arts and crafts alongside others.
Weaving in the courtyard.
