Esta Tonkin is a craftsperson who works with textiles. She has a background in science (ecology) and tertiary education, including teaching environmental management, and zero waste management, and is a Māma of two. Esta values compassion highly and is passionate about addressing issues of equity and inclusion in Aotearoa. She is really looking forward to pursing meaningful, values-based, creative work with our team and we are really excited to have her on board for the next year, while our current Manager Hannah Wilson Black is away on parental leave.
