Kia ora! Flax Works is run by Sandra and Michelle:
"We are a mother and daughter team of Maori descent . Our tribal links are Ngapuhi and Tainui. We are flax and fibre weavers who continue a traditional craft handed down from our ancestors.
It is a treasure that is valued and each piece is symbolic and embodied with spiritual and cultural values.
A gift to give as it has been given to us". http://www.aotearoa.co.nz/flaxworks/
