MODULE 3 OF THE MATRIX™
Kete Whakairo
A Gentle Path To Te Ao Māori
Tikanga
Knowing the 'why' of traditional Māori weaving values and practises will help you to relax with your weaving and at the same time achieve the best outcome for yourself and the environment.
Practical Know-How
Enjoy learning things like proper preparation so that your materials are easy to weave with and the tips and tricks of weaving which have come from generations of weaving experience that will help you to become a better weaver.
Traditional Skills
Learn the techniques and mātauranga that will enable you to weave up a kono for hakari, a kete whiri for kaimoana or riwai and a kete whakairo for special occasions just like your Nanny and aunties used to.
Cultural Well-Being
You'll become part of a group with shared values and purpose. Any feelings of awkwardness or whakama will fade and a quiet confidence will grow as you gather knowledge, skills and friends on your raranga journey.

The structured, well thought out lessons that give you the confidence you need to progress, will save you frustration, time and second-guessing.
AND as our students say
"I could listen to Veranoa ALL Day. Her voice is so calming."
"I could listen to Veranoa ALL Day. Her voice is so calming."
The magic is in The Matrix™ - a special series of lessons taught in a very special way.
If you follow Veranoa as she guides you through The Matrix™ you'll not only learn exactly what Veranoa was taught, you'll also experience surprising Aha! moments and expand your own creativity along the way.
The Matrix™ was developed by renowned weaver Erenora Puketapu-Hetet along with her teaching-assistant, daughter Veranoa. Together they developed an elegant and effective way for student weavers to learn by combining traditional ways of teaching with contemporary best-practice for remote learners.
At the heart of The Matrix™ is the mātauranga and whakaaro of our tupuna.
Our students love The Matrix™
Following The Matrix of the Hetet School of Māori Art just makes sense. I can say from experience that it truly does work and I have found each lesson/video easy to understand. I started from module one then two and three. I am now weaving kete that I had only ever dreamed of weaving.

I am loving being able to have a tutorial online when I can choose the time & being able to rewind n replay is great. Also can do the tutorial several times until you really have got it, the difference in your first kono & your 4th is great!! Veranoa has a really practical methodical way that works so logically.

I love the freedom of being able to learn at my own pace. I don't have to commit to weekly classes. And I use it as a time for 'just me'. To meditate and reflect.
