Preserving Tradition and Learning from the Masters
Helena James is one of the Coromandel’s treasured local weavers and has been weaving for nearly 30 years. After learning a few different methods of weaving in her life, she truly believes that traditional methods are the way to go when it comes to raranga.
Although she began learning, as many weavers do, with mop-cloth, since learning more traditional methods of Māori weaving, she said she could never go back to contemporary methods.

Common Ground is a space dedicated to expression. In this edition: Photography by Leah Phillips and poems: I Went Somewhere by Denise Allen and Projecting The Rain by Waimā De Souza.
