TE HEI : DEMONSTRATION AND WREATH MAKING

Tinarei, a talented craftswoman, welcomes you for an immersion into the heart of a traditional skill: the making of wreaths from flowers and native shells. Much more than a simple workshop, this is an encounter with the soul of an art that links man to nature and celebrates the beauty of Fenua.

In an authentic setting, Tinarei will introduce you to the natural materials used by the elders: bright flowers, shells in a thousand shades, carefully woven plant fibers. She'll reveal the secrets behind the making of these emblematic ornaments, passing on a little of her history and heritage with each gesture.

Accompanied by her kindness and expertise, you'll learn to weave your own crown, following ancestral techniques adapted to your creativity.
