A Whāriki for Parklands Library - Photo Gallery

Preparation

On Monday 6 June 2005 Library colleagues and friends gathered at the Janet Stewart Reserve, where a pā harakeke has been established for weavers. They cut and processed the harakeke into strips, then hapene (scrape to soften) and blanched them for drying for later use.
