Te Ao Marama Ngarimu weaves Kete of exquisite quality. Having worked with Harakeke (New Zealand Flax) for the past eight years, he discusses the process as, "Weaving from past to present, I have learned the dynamics of this truly amazing plant - applying it with other materials to enhance it's appearance, support it's structure and deliver it's context."
