Work towards creating your very own feather cloak while learning the skills and techniques of contemporary kākahu making. Gain hands-on experience in tāniko weaving, māwhitiwhiti patterns, feather inserts, and tags, while also learning the tikanga and Te Reo connected to Raranga Whatu.

By the end of the course, you’ll complete a sampler cloak large enough for a small child and have the confidence to start your own projects. A $30 starter kit is required and payable to the tutor on the first evening. Please also bring a pen, pencil, and scissors.
