After a year of hard yakka students of Te Wananga o Aotearoa Rotorua arts school get to show off their beautiful work.
Te Wananga o Aotearoa Rotorua manager of educational delivery John Turi-Tiakitai said he was proud of the work and effort class members had put into their pieces.
"The exhibition we have called Ahua [which means to form or make], it's artworks created this year from our students in the certificate diploma and certificate degree in Maori art.
"The works are all done in three different disciplines of Maori art, whakairo [carving], raranga [weaving] and rauangi [fine arts].
"Our courses allow the avenue for students to connect with their passion. As the exhibition shows some of our students' work in a very customary way and some work in a very contemporary way," he said.
