Carve Your Own Manaia
Carve your own traditional Māori pendant - the manaia: a guardian. This workshop is designed with entry-level carvers in mind, but some carving experience is highly recommended, and will take a minimum of 7 - 8 hours. In this workshop, we will cover the cultural history of the form, the tools and skills necessary for stone-carving and will guide participants through the process of creating a pounamu manaia. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a fully completed and bound manaia to take home.
