Treasures with Tania: Generations!

Heritage & History • Arts and Craft
Heritage Festival
Several items arranged on a cloth embroidered with flowers: a yellow and purple knitted scarf, a silver-coloured trophy cup, a small bag woven from flax, and a black-and-white photograph of a seated couple in a frame decorated with blue flowers.

Share a little of your family history in friendly conversation. You are warmly invited to bring along a taonga or memento that relates to your family story or history – it could be jewellery, an item of clothing, a photo or an object. Generations welome - for example; parents & children, grandparents & grandchildren.

Facilitator: Local NZSG member Dr. Tania Kopytko
