Info

Our artist is based in Auckland.

The "taniko" weaving technique is unique to the NZ Maori.

It was development following the settlement of the Maori to Aotearoa.

Taniko is a weaving technique that incorporates more than one colour in a piece of work without the use of a frame which is commonly used throughout the world.

Though "korowai" is the term that is generally accepted today to describe a "Maori cloak" it was in fact a particular kind of Maori cloak, emphasis placed more on the creation of an elaborate "taniko" border.

"kahu huruhuru" was the term used for a feather cloak

"kahu kura" a red feather cloak

Our artist can take commissions for korowai.
