We areally enjoyed this workshop. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. It was a diverse class, with young and old as well as people from different cultural backgrounds. The hosts made all feel welcome and there was a relaxed atmosphere throughout. The hosts were also very generous with their knowledge including sharing some Purakau relating to carving which was good. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with my hands. It was very calming and a great thing to do. Ngā mihi, Rand Hazou
