matARiki for Tamariki — Art Project

Celebrate Matariki with Toi Tauranga Art Gallery, at the Tauranga City Library, by making your own hanging water animal.  Starting with a visit to Te Tuhi Mareikura Trust’s matARiki Sculpture Trail for inspiration, you will then use water colour pencils, crayons, posca pens, and metallic papers to bring your mahi toi to life. Maybe a sparkling snapper from Waitā’s saltwater moana, or a long glistening tuna (eel) from the flowing awa of Waitī. We are running two sessions.

Numbers are limited to 15 tamariki at each session. All materials will be provided. Bookings are essential.
