How It Works
4 Types Of Kākahu
By the end of the programme you will have woven 4 different types of kākahu and have the skills to weave any kind of kākahu including a kahu huruhuru.
No Essays. Just Weaving
There are no essays to write. The focus is on practical, hands-on. The only requirement is that you upload images of completed mahi for each module.
Community & Support
Our tauira share their journey with others online and in person at optional weave-togethers & retreats. They are also able to ask their kaiako any course related questions.

Access our virtual classroom 24/7 from wherever you are at the time most convenient for you - with internet access from a mobile, laptop, iPad or desktop.

"This has been an incredible journey full of joy, surprises, support and blisters.
I have learnt so much every step of the way but I’d have to say I didn’t expect to feel so close to ōku tūpuna asI went through the process of korowai.
Using my hands (knees/legs/arms) to recreate the same methods and processes of those who have gone before me was profound -
I really felt my place in the continuum of time and raranga/whatu/tāniko will continue to express itself (te ira raranga) long after I’m gone.
A profoundly beautiful experience"
