Flax weaving

I love working with harakeke (flax) a natural plant material growing in NZ and have learnt to enjoy the lengthy process of preparing it.

Depending on which process is used, the results can vary a lot, this allows so much creativity and spontaneity by letting the harakeke influence the end result.

It is fascinating to learn about Maori tikanga (protocol) and I continue to be fascinated by the many natural resources found in our environment.

I hope to weave for many years to come and I thoroughly enjoy producing beautiful things from something that I can grow in my garden.
