Haeata Makerspace Set

Haeata Community Campus has just got their Pounamu carving space up and running, and I got a chance to have a go.  

Got to know some great people through this space and it felt right to give these pendants to those people as well as to support the kaupapa of the Makerspace at Haeata.

The kaupapa for this set is as a gift to tautoko the mana of the kaiako and staff that make that space what it is.  As well as for the space to add to and uphold the mauri, mana, and wairua of the space.  I hope that they pendants will be something special for the students and their learning in the space over the coming years.

When I explained the Kaupapa to Clark and gave him this Pounamu, he carried on to develop it even further.  I love what he has done with this and hope to see if become a great part of this place.
