Nga taputapu tuturu a te maori me nga taonga puoro: Traditional Māori tools and musical instruments.
A free all-ages interactive demonstration and talk about making and using traditional Māori tools and instruments by Matiu Bartlett.
Join us for a demonstration of both māori tools and taonga puoro making. Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets
Matiu uses traditional stone tools which he makes from stone adzes, files, rasps, sandstone, stone as well as steel. Natural materials such as wood, stone, bindings, earth pigments and flax fibres and are sourced from his local environment, the Wairoa district, to make both his tools and taonga puoro.
From 11.00am to 2.00pm there will be sustainable Matariki crafts for children and a free tour of He Tohu at 12 – 1.00pm.
