This is the 3rd workshop I have attended, and plan to attend more because both Maha and Laura have an awesome kaupapa available for all people. The space oozes fun, patience, history, and encourages your inner creativity. To see a piece start from its raw form to completion is my favourite part of the entire process. Nga mihi kia korua!
