To coincide with the Costume & Textile Association of New Zealand Symposium 2026, a series of pop-up demonstrations will be held in the Museum atrium space. These informal, drop-in sessions offer a chance to see skilled makers at work, explore a wide range of textile and craft techniques, and chat with passionate practitioners. Whether you stay for a few minutes or linger a little longer, there’s always something to discover.
