FREE Flax Weaving Classes
We are pleased to announce that we can again offer Raranga (flax weaving) beginner classes starting on Thursday 16th August at 7pm, 2018. These Thursday evening classes will run as an 8 week block course at the Good News Community Centre (78 Breckons Ave, Nawton). They are offered free to the community.
Our new and well achieved tutor Tuahana Clark began her passion for Raranga as a child as she observed her kuia weave for their marae. Tuahana is well versed in the art of traditional gathering and dyeing and has received many tohu (awards) from various education providers along with a Master of Arts in Tikanga Maori. This expertise and knowledge has allowed Tuahana (along with others) to produce over 70 whariki (mats) many wahakura (safe sleeping beds for babies) and korowai (cloak) for a local church.
Tuahana is passionate about sharing her skills and knowledge, is the Chairperson of Nga Hua O Te Rito Charitable Trust a group of enthusiastic weavers and President of Te Herenga Branch MWWL/l Maori Womens Welfare League based at Hemi Tapu.
Tuahana is married with four children, grandmother of six and great grandmother of two.
No experience is needed to attend this introductory course, but those who have weaving experience are also welcome to participate. These classes will help extend your own knowledge of a beautiful traditional art that will bring you and your whanau or family joy for many years and generations to come. These classes are open to all adults.

LUNA IS MISSING, $$$ OFFERED
Do you have kids on school holidays that could search your property thoroughly for a cat hiding under a building or bush or in sheds?
Have you seen Luna lurking around your house or maybe stealing your cats food or trying to move in as your new pet?
Have friends, family or neighbours recently adopted an adult cat that looks like Luna?
Has a cat resembling Luna hitched a ride in your vehicle from the Rototuna area and jumped out at another destination?
Luna has gone missing from Rototuna in Hamilton on Wednesday 25/09/2024.
She is desexed and microchipped and will be 3 years old in November.
She was a bit on the chubby side at the time she disappeared but may have lost condition since her disappearance depending on her circumstances.
Luna is very loved and deeply missed, we just want her back home with us where she belongs.
You can either text me on 027 898 0888, PM on Facebook Messenger or respond to this post, and I will make contact 😊
