Timelapse of making a large Kete Whakairo

This is a short timelapse of making a large Kete Whakairo (bag) with Harakeke (NZ Flax/Phromium Tenax). It's a unique glimpse into a weaver's life, showcasing the intricate art of Kete Whakairo :-) If you have seen our previous timelapse about making a small Kete Whakairo, you can see the difference in size and space required to make these rather nicely if viewed back to back. We have several online stand-alone lessons on different variations of Kete Whakairo inside our Subscriber-only learning space, the Weavers Circle, on our website (www.flaxworx.co.nz). Some popular variants include Kupenga Overlay, Kete Whakairo with a lid, and patterns such as Patiki.
