Today we made our very own Phoenix House Korowai cloak. Each child was provided with their own feather template where they were able to decorate it with a variety of collage materials where they could design and create their own pattern and designs.
The Korowai cloak was a garment made in early Maori times and was generally woven or made from traditional materials like flax and feathers. It is worn as a mantle of prestige and honor.
Once everyone had completed their feathers we combined these together onto a cloak which is now displayed in our bag room area. It is bright, beautiful and unique where it displays each child's individual style and creativity :)
