Please join us for our Sustainable Urban Living Workshop - Raranga Harakeke with Rewa Grimsdale
Rewa Grimsdale is a skilled and deeply knowledgeable practitioner of raranga harakeke, bringing together years of experience and rich generational learning. She shares not only the techniques of weaving but also the cultural context and stories that give the practice its meaning, creating a joyful and supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged, connected, and inspired. Rewa’s workshops offer more than practical skills—they foster appreciation for Māori artistry, history, and the values woven into each piece.
Parnell Community Centre is located in the Jubilee Building at 545 Parnell Road, Parnell. For further details about our community classes and activities, see our website at https://villagesquare.org.nz/classes or contact Abigail on 09 555 5164 / community@villagesquare.org.nz
This Saturday Workshop is held in the Jubilee Hall alongside the vibrant Parnell Farmers’ Market, a warm, welcoming space to gather over morning tea. It’s a lovely opportunity to enjoy a slow, relaxed morning while learning, sharing, and connecting with others in our community.
