I weave kete (baskets) using harakeke (NZ flax) from plants growing locally in Warwickshire
I’m a weaver from New Zealand, currently living in the UK. I weave kete (baskets) using harakeke (NZ flax) which I harvest and prepare from plants growing locally in Warwickshire.
My interest in Māori weaving was first sparked about 30 years ago when I was given a kete that had been woven for me by my friend’s cousin. It was the first time I’d received a gift that had been handmade especially for me.
