Event Details

Stop by Huia Lodge in Cornwall Park and learn to make poi with The ReCreators using reclaimed t-shirts and wool stuffing off-cuts on Sat 18 Feb 2023 from 10am to 11:30am. T-shirts are upcycled and reused in every step of the process in this workshop, from making the poi’s braid and pompom, to wrapping the poi ball. Every scrap of waste made during the poi-making process is incorporated back into the poi. This is truly a zero-waste class!

All materials and equipment will be provided. Things might get a little messy, so wear old clothes!

Suited for ages 8 , parent participation is encouraged.

This drop-in workshop will be held outdoors at Huia Lodge Discovery Hub. Registration is not required- poi making workshop is available while material stocks last.

Cornwall Park is the oasis at the heart of Auckland city for New Zealanders. The park celebrates the city and its inhabitants with music, events and activities. It is more than just a park — it is 425 acres (172 hectares) of New Zealand’s living history, weaving together our heritage, ecology, agriculture, wildlife, mauri, and community within its lush landscape. The Cornwall Park Trust Board, who manages and operates Cornwall Park, continues to honour Sir John Logan Campbell's wish was that the park be free for every New Zealander to enjoy, forever.
