This Matariki, come make, remember, and connect through mahi toi and contemporary creative practice with Whare Hau Tutū.

He Wānanga Toi o Matariki is a series of adult creative wānanga at Whare Hau Tutū, created for people who want to engage with Matariki through making, memory, whenua, story, and aspiration.

Across the series, we’ll explore journals, kōwhaiwhai, muka, zines, tukutuku, and natural pigments, each kaupapa standing on its own, while also connecting to the wider Matariki journey of remembering, reflecting, reconnecting, reimagining, and releasing forward.

These are not sit-and-watch sessions. These are hands-in, heart-open, come-as-you-are creative spaces.

Adults 18+
Limited spaces
Bookings through our website

NOTE
Ngā Tae o Te Whenua is in collaboration with Te Whare Taonga o Raahui Pookeka and is for Huntly residents only and there are limited spaces available. Kindly supported by He Ohu Whakaita Trust + Matariki ki Waikato

Ngā mihi He Ohu Whakaita Trust + Matariki ki Waikato for your tautoko for Ngā Tae o Te Whenua and Toi Raranga Kupu. We are stoked to be providing these alongside the Matariki ki Waikato Festival 2026
