Join Lisa Reweti, Kaihāpai Kaupapa/Public Programmes Presenter, Whanganui Regional Museum, for this rich morning of learning and practice.

You’ll meet first at St Paul’s Church, Putiki, to savour the unique and stunning carving, weaving and kōwhaiwhai (painted patterns). You’ll then relocate (using your own transport) to the Regional Museum to view the kōwhaiwhai adorning the wharenui-styled museum gallery Te-Ātihaunui-a-Pāpārangi, after which, you will take part in a collaborative block printing session where you will work together to create a large piece of art.

Morning tea will be provided.

Advance booking essential. Tickets are available to purchase through Eventfinda: St Paul’s Tour and Block Printing
