An absolute joy to be at the unveiling of this incredible pou at Cascades Kindergarten on Sunday.
Artist Don Jessep explains the pou he has carved
Carved from a 55,980 year-old piece of ancient swamp kauri, this beautiful piece is full of meaning with the tamariki of the early childhood centre providing the inspiration.
Seeing the children interact with it after it was unveiled was awesome.
