Bring your well-loved clothing to Te Tuhi for free mending and alterations with the NFACT team.
Part of ‘Kohan Zari Ko’, meaning “turning old to gold”, this ongoing project creates a welcoming space for women from refugee and migrant backgrounds to connect through textile practice, skill-sharing and community.
Visitors are invited to spend time in the space, meet the makers and learn more about the project while repairs are completed.

This initiative is led by the New Settlers Family and Community Trust (NFACT) and proudly supported by Arts Out East and Te Tuhi.
Arts Out East is a Te Tuhi programme funded by the Howick Local Board.
