STORIES; the other day I mentioned on a post how much I am enjoying the stories I hear from our local legends. Today, that stepped up again!

Liam from Liam & Little Printmakers reached out to me an invited him to his talk and demonstration today at Creative Northland. We were all blown away with his passion, energy and knowledge of print making.

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Liam and he should be very proud of his performance today and his works he produces.

A few weeks have now passed since @ethnousa 2026 took place in the beautiful forests outside Greensboro, North Carolina and we are still buzzing from the experience!

We were especially excited to have the presence of Aotearoa there, with Rāhana and Toby participating, alongside Hanna on this year’s crew.

On the final evening, Rāhana, Toby and Hanna had a kōrero about their experience, about Ethno, and about Ethno in Aotearoa New Zealand.

And now… Ethno NZ 2027 is only a few months away!

If you are feeling the calling to join this journey and be part of our next edition here in Aotearoa, don’t hesitate - sign up today!
