The Wahakura Project (also called the safe bed sharing project).

We have been fortunate to attend a special Wahakura Workshop in 2008 near Gisborne. The project was orginally started under the expert guidance of Dr David Tipene-Leach in partnership with East Coast Weavers.

You will find more information on this event and the background of the Project under the below pdf files or at the following websites: www.maorisids.co.nz · www.ngamaia.co.nz

If you would like to purchase a Wahakura for your own child or mokopuna please give us plenty of notice (3 weeks at least) as these do take quite a while to weave. Cost is $150 (excluding mattress - which we can organise for you though).
