“Kowhaiwhai are a way of design, that tell stories of nature, environments, migrational stories and so on. This workshop will introduce kowhaiwhai and participants will learn about the koru, and the mangopare. Participants will be supported to design a kowhaiwhai pattern that represents their own korero. The participants will paint their design to take home with them. For this workshop the ideas and themes for kowhaiwhai are kotahitanga, (unity, community, collectivity, oneness), kaitiakitanga, (nature, environment, protection and preservation, guardian and stewardship).
