Rangimarie voice over: “When you start your first row of tāniko the one they call the ‘Aho Tapu’ you set your pattern in there and after that you’re supposed to finish that line without a break so you can memorise your pattern, what you’re going to do. Then after that you get going and your anxious to see how your pattern’s going to turn out in your very first main thing.”
Rangimarie speaks in Māori about her work weaving whāriki, kete, kākāhu, korowai etc. Brief shots of one of her mokopuna weaving a Korowai.
