The Joy of Taaniko with Veranoa Hetet
I am just so in love with Taaniko, it's like my addiction..... I really love playing with colours and patterns. Thank you Whaea Veranoa, your Taaniko course has opened up my world, to being more creative. This journey has been awesome. I find Taaniko relaxing, refreshing and fulfilling.”

"I love that Taaniko is so portable.
I can do it in the car. I LOVE Taaniko!"
"Contemporary Taaniko in 3D inspired by sea anemone and see coral. It feels like adding another step onto my weaving journey in trying new ways with traditional techniques. Thanks Veranoa to teach me and in doing so giving me confidence."

About Veranoa Hetet
I Weave, I Breathe
Weaving is literally my life. I weave every day.
Next to weaving, teaching is my greatest passion.
I grew up in a family of weavers. Many of the women in my family were and are weavers: my great-grandmother, Rangimarie Hetet, and great-aunt Diggeress Te Kanawa, my mum Erenora Puketapu-Hetet were all renowned Maori weavers.
I learned to weave and to teach weaving by my mothers side. She was a wonderful teacher and I hope to impart to you the knowledge and joy of Taaniko that she gave me.
Over the past 30 plus years, I have taught thousands of people how to weave and I know that if you follow the video lessons you will very quickly acquire the skills you need to enjoy Taaniko.
Happy weaving!
Veranoa
