Pataka Kai - Build and Paint

In term 4 of 2024 I had the pleasure of helping two clever young men paint a ‘pataka kai’ they built from scratch to donate to their church. This was a special project with St Brendan’s School in Upper Hutt and the finished piece is now being used by their community to share food.

We used stencils to get the shapes the same size. We used just three colours and completed the painting in just a few sessions.
