I did the Pounamu rei niho workshop with Mana, Laura and CJ. It was a great experience from start to finish. Maha, Laura and CJ provide a fun, informative and safe space to learn pounamu carving. The day was well structured and I will definitely be back to do another of their courses. I am so happy with the rei nohi i created with their guidance and support. Ka nui te pai!
