Wānanga (Workshop)

Kia Ora & welcome, With the success of my previous workshop. I am pleased that I will be hosting another workshop next month in March.

This will be a 2 day weekend Saturday & Sunday workshop. Saturday morning for intermediate weavers only. Saturday & Sunday afternoon for advanced weavers only.

First session on Saturday morning will be for intermediate/beginners who want to learn the basics of Rāranga for 1 day only.

Saturday & Sunday afternoon will be for the advanced weavers who want to learn a more detailed intricate pattern. This session will go for 2 days Saturday & Sunday afternoon. Due to the complexity of this class the costs will cover for the materials & the 2 sessions over the 2 day period.

For those that have completed my previous workshop can book the 2 day advanced class. If you wish. If you are new or need more help learning the basics. Please only book the intermediate class first before you can book the advanced classes. Kia Ora!

I want to thank this beautiful Wāhine for purchasing my Rāranga art piece “The Fern” To Māori the Fern symbolises, strength endurance, and resistance. The silver Fern, also Known as ponga in te reo, has been a symbol of NZ’s national Identity since the 1880's. I hope you enjoy this piece & it gives you the following representation of its meaning to you & your family in your home. Thank you for your support Mayron. ❤️

Niho Taniwha:

Niho Taniwha translates to taniwha teeth. The triangle shape of the niho taniwha represents strength and stability. The repetitive pattern symbolises whakapapa, stories, histories and myths passed down over time.

Kaokao:

Means protection. It looks like a repetitive 'M' shape which is said to represent the rib cage and arms of warriors (think of the Haka stance). The kaokao pattern is usually on tukutuku panels in the four corners of a whare representing the protection of all.
