The Nga Whakatupuranga - Generations of Weaving exhibition has inspired groups of people to learn how to weave with flax.
The exhibition, which showcases woven korowai (full-length cloaks) and hieke paheke (capes), turapa (wall panels), kaitaka (cloaks), kete (baskets) and other items, is on display at the Rotorua Museum.
A
number of weaving-related events are being held over the duration of the exhibition - which runs until October 14 - including weaving workshops, the last of which was held yesterday.
Alice de Nys said she and her sister Maryanne had been visiting the weaving exhibition when they discovered they could learn the skill themselves.
They went along to yesterday's workshop, where they learned to make a small kete.
