WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE MUSEUM!

Toi Oriwa Creative is in the Museum!

We welcome Oriwa in the Museum on Saturdays for the month of August from 10am-2pm.

Toi Oriwa Creative Space is a new feature to the Museum, set up in the Education space where we present our public programmes. Oriwa Morgan Ward is the creative energy behind Toi Oriwa Creative Space. Regular attendees to our public programming will know Oriwa for her amazing enthusiastic energy and ability to connect with learners. If you haven’t experienced what Toi Oriwa Creative is all about, then come in to the Museum this Saturday 1st August from 10am – 2pm. Oriwa will be demonstrating her creative projects and sharing her knowledge FREE of charge.

If you’re interested in a raranga/ weaving workshop next Saturday, Oriwa will be taking bookings to learn kono/ woven food bowl made from harakeke/ flax. If there’s time you could also learn how to make a tīpare/ headband. More info to come.
