The ReCreators

Seven lovely ladies joined Michelle at Glen Innes Library to create beautiful Matariki star macramé! ✨

It was wonderful to see everyone learning new skills, and we even had a special school teacher keen to share the craft with her 16 year old students, so taking the skills away with her.

We loved spending the afternoon at Glen Innes Library and are looking forward to coming back for more creative remaking workshops!

A big thank you to Community Matters for making this workshop possible.

Little Minds, Big Creations!

Around 40 tamariki and their parents joined Felicia for an afternoon of creative woodwork at Tōia Library - Te Pātaka Kōrero o Ōtāhuhu. It was awesome to see so many parents getting stuck in, helping bring their tamariki's ideas to life.

A busy, creative afternoon and lots of smiles all around!

Thanks to Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board for supporting this workshop.

What a great afternoon at our School Holiday Visible Mending and Embroidery workshop with Teddy at our Green Space! 🧵

Our young makers learned simple mending and embroidery techniques, taking home a new skill while discovering how repairing our clothes helps reduce waste.

Future Makers in Action!

We had a great group of fresh faces join Felicia at Pt Chev Community Centre to make their own wooden chopping boards. We think some of the parents were even more excited than the kids at drop off!

It was awesome to see everyone giving power tools a go, learning new skills, and heading home with a chopping board they made themselves.

Thanks to Creative Communities for funding this workshop.

Stitch, Sew, Done!

Some very focused tamariki spent the day with our awesome kaiako, Ellen, sewing their very own duffle bags from scratch. There were a few tired faces by the end, but everyone headed home with a cool new bag to show off!
