About the event
Timebank member, Wendy Naepflin is running this very heartfelt workshop.
Learn how to weave 3 styles of Wakarei (baskets for babies born sleeping) to gift to our Whangarei hospital.
For complete beginners or experienced weavers, no experience necessary.
"By returning pēpi in a flax wakarei, we honour the sacredness of life and acknowledge the grief that may accompany its loss. This simple act transforms a clinical moment into one of dignity and aroha."
$10 contribution includes:
Full tutoring on how to make these harakeke baskets
