At the moment we have looking at the various types of fibres and fabrics. We have been inspired by reading the story "Roimata's Cloak" to make our own cloak. Mr Lowe brought in two korowai (cloak) that belong to his family. One korowai is a traditional cloak that was made by his great grandmother. It is composed of kiwi feathers and have a traditional Te Arawa pattern on it. He also brought a korowai his wife made that she wore on her wedding day. It is a more modern type of korowai that was made of organza and feathers. Now we are working hard to make our own korowai. We made material from paper, crayon, dye, paint and recycled material. We hope that through this experience we will appreciate the significance of the garment and its meaning, as well as the effort that goes into making one.
