Whetū Harakeke Sessions with Kahu Collective

This is a fun hands-on activity for tamariki to celebrate Matariki. Join Lisa Harding from the Kahu Collective in the Great Hall to learn about ways of working with harakeke (flax) to create a whetū (star) for Matariki. Ideal for ages 8-12. This workshop is brought to you by Kahu Collective.

This event is part of Matariki 2026 , where we're celebrating Matariki with talented artists from Ōtautahi and beyond. Bring your friends and whānau to Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre (4-12 Hōngongoi July) for music, exhibitions, kapa haka, wānanga (workshops), night mākete and much more.
