She spent October at the de Young and got to work on some artwork through a grant from Toi Maori (Maori arts commission).
One of her works on display and a good example of the kinds of things that can be constructed from weaving.
The highlight (other than the free hors d'oeuvres) was getting some hands on experience. Each visitor had a chance to grab some flax leaves and practice some weaving with tuition and guidance from Glenda. Not a bad job eh?
Originally wanted to have dinner at Izakaya Sozai on Irving St in SF, but due to the extreme wait there, decided instead to try Kitchen Kura across the street. Turned out to be a great decision as they served some great food in a small, quiet environment. Opted for the 2 combo dinner with fried tofu and nanban chicken (garlic fried chicken in a really light, yummy batter). Not pictured is the appetizer plate of garlic edamame which was pretty flavourful too.
Great getting up to the City again for some NZ art and great food. Win-win.
