Morena Whanau, Flashback!!

Sunday 19 April Taaniko Weaving Workshop Tāuira (grateful for this pic😊)

Always identifying & trialling alternative delivery methods to increase student satisfaction and completion of piece.

A good friend of mine said, she has attended Taaniko Wananga where the chosen piece was “over ambitious” for a beginner group.
Ae, this information & Korero made me adjust my delivery and group piece. I envisioned our group creating Ataahua Neck Pieces, Ae, over ambitious for beginners.

As a bonus, I provided the “Neck Piece” materials as a practice project for my students to take home, to start, fumble through, with many questions next we meet.

Point of difference, ongoing monthly catch ups to tautoko your Weaving journey.

I didn’t account for rain, didn’t have a back up plan, gotta find a solution 🤔🤔💡💡

- Do you know any Craft Cafes (is that a thing? 🤣 cause I want one!)
- Free indoor Community spaces at all
- Saturday or Sunday

Korero mai! All and any undercover options are appreciated. Putting it out there to the Universe so I’m not postponing and rescheduling over the wet season🙏🏾🤞🏾
