These 50 interesting and entertaining projects are designed to
teach beginners the basic skills of the Maori craft of plaiting.Fun
with Flax shows how to make items ranging from a simple windmill, a
dart and a whistle to more complex puzzles, balls, birds, fish and
even a caterpillar. Each project is described one step at a time
with easy-to-follow line drawings and instructions. All are fun and
will delight children and adults with their ingenuity, their beauty
and the amusement they provide. This book is ideal for kohanga reo,
playcentres, kindergartens, Maori crafts groups and New Zealand
homes. It aims not only to teach the skills of plaiting to young
New Zealanders but also to nurture a new generation of flaxworkers.
Mick Pendergrast first became interested in plaiting and other
Maori crafts while teaching in small communities in the East Cape
area. He has spent time as a VSA teacher in the Solomon Islands and
on the remote Polynesian outlier of Tikopia, and has worked in a
number of New Zealand's major museums. He is the author of Te Mahi
Kete- Maori Basketry for Beginners, Feathers and Fibre, a catalogue
of the first major exhibition of Maori flaxcrafts, of which he was
the curator, and Raranga Whakairo, a collection of plaiting
patterns.
