Take this opportunity to visit the Highbury Weavers as they work collectively to create a range of woven artworks using traditional Māori weaving techniques. This dedicated group upholds the mana and tikanga of Māori weaving within a contemporary context, sharing knowledge that has been passed down through generations.

Using both harakeke (flax) and selected modern materials, the Highbury Weavers demonstrate how traditional practices continue to evolve in today’s environment. Visitors are welcome to observe the weaving process and ask questions, gaining insight into the cultural significance and techniques of Māori weaving.
