"I am weaving kete that I had only ever
dreamed of weaving!"

Demelza Craig, Aotearoa New Zealand

You'll follow The Matrix® with Veranoa which is a proven method of learning that has successfully helped thousands of weavers master the art of Raranga

Kete Whakairo woven by Ripeka Meredith in The Kete Club

 "I was told I would never be any good at weaving by one person as I'm colourblind, suck at maths, and have no sense of direction. I thought that for 10 years!

Then I found a video of Veranoa in 2015. I loved the sense of calm in her instruction and signed up."

Ripeka Meredith - Aotearoa, New Zealand

I Weave, I Breathe.


Weaving is literally my life. I weave every day.

Next to weaving, teaching is my greatest passion.

Over the past 35 plus years, I have taught thousands of people how to weave and I know from those who follow the video lessons that very soon you'll be weaving beautiful kete too.

Happy weaving!
