Poi E! Make your own poi
Part of Pūkana series
Tuesday 28 January 2020, 10am to 12pm
Free event. Book required.
Be inspired by a tour through the ‘Pūkana: moments in Māori performance’ exhibition and make your own poi to take home. Watch a poi demonstration and learn how to perform with them.
Family friendly Pūkana tour and poi making
Book the tamariki in for a family-friendly tour of the exhibition ‘Pūkana: moments in Maori performance’ at 10am, where they can then be inspired to create and decorate their own poi from T-shirts (BYO if you can) and wool at our “Make your own poi” workshop. They will also be taught how to perform with them.
This workshop is best suited for children 8 years and older with a supervising adult.
10am to 10.20am for whānau Pūkana tour; 10.30am to 12.00pm for Poi making workshop
