Taurima

Created by Lissy Robinson-Cole (Ngāti Hineamaru, Ngāti Kahu) and Rudi Robinson-Cole (Waikato, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāruahine, Te Arawa). The concept of taurima means to offer the most succulent offerings to your guests, which in turn elevates the mana of your people. There is much opportunity to celebrate and express the functions of sharing kai, but also to celebrate the special native and natural kai of Tāmaki. The designs for Taurima have been created to replicate crochet stitches.
