This design is all about place, about the wonder of just standing in one place and really looking at what surrounds us.
The design has grown out of workshops with two Lindon schools.
The students built their own Wakahuia (Māori treasure containers) and filled them with treasures found in the school grounds. This became an act of mindfulness allowing students and accompany adults to find natures treasures in the grass. It was a great way to explore the modest yet wonderful life forms that surround us. The students also created prints from there treasures.
This design grew out of the children’s enthusiasm and some of the items they chose are featured in the design. I have included clover and Kawakawa pacifically as they are both thought to have properties that promote health.
