Come together through mahi toi

Nau mai, haere mai ki te wānanga mahi toi!

Come together for a day of creativity, connection and mātauranga toi at Taihoa Marae, Saturday 7th November 2026.

Whether you're keen to learn something new, reconnect with traditional art practices, or simply spend time creating alongside whānau, there's something here for you.

Learn from talented practitioners, explore the stories and knowledge held within toi, and discover skills you can carry with you long after the day is done. It's an opportunity to share knowledge across generations, try something different and strengthen our connections through creativity.

Best of all, the workshops are free.

There are still opportunities to register, but places are limited. Choose a workshop that sparks your interest and join us for a special day of mahi toi.

Koha is welcome. 

Some workshops are already full, so make sure you register early to secure your spot!
