Martin Stucki, aged four, watches his mother, Mrs Hanoi Stucki, of Switzerland, concentrate on her taniko weaving at the Maori arts and crafts course which began at the Rehua marae yesterday. Beside them is Miss Lynmaree Sopoaga, of Christchurch. Mrs Stucki and her family emigrated to New Zealand 16 months ago. Taniko weaving involves a twisting process (as opposed to the knotting method used in macrame), and can be used to make headbands, borders on cloaks, collars, bodices, and a variety of clothing accessories such as handbags and purses. About 30 people have registered for the week-long course, organised annually by the Christchurch branch of the Maori Women’s Welfare League.
