I would like to thank Laura and her fabulous helper Isabella for a well informed day. At the Taonga Puoro Workshop, we went away with some new skills and learnt the meaning of what they were used for. Was a great day of learning new skills. For those that have not been to 1 of these workshops. You don't know what you are missing. Highly recommend this to all 100%
