Our Values

Whanaungatanga  

Connecting

​

What we have learned especially since 2020 is the value of getting together. The power and synergy that comes from that process of creative minds developing a project together. We were made to be in harmony with one another - a strong community is where we do our best work. Connection is just as valuable as the process and the outcome. Whanau is craft.

Collaborating

​

One thing that is important in your decision in joining craft is our culture of collaborating. In this industry you rarely find one person who can do it all.... this industry runs on the basis of a team. Collaborating with others who have skills sets different then your own will enhance your creative process and outcomes. It makes the journey more meaningful and you feel supported.

A Place to Stand

It literally means "standing place" (tÅ«ranga) and feet (waewae) TÅ«rangawaewae are places where we feel empowered and connected. They are the foundation, our place in the world, our home.  TÅ«rangawaewae is craft.
