Weaving

You can make a choice from the following artists:


Rita Baker

Rita has a Certificate in traditional and contemporary Maori weaving and attended the Maori Fibre Weaving course at UNITEC in Auckland, New Zealand.
Her husband is of Ngapuhi and Ngati Rangi descent.

We proudly represent her works of art and act as her official agent for the Dutch market.

She is enjoying the traditional art form of Maori weaving very much and creates beautiful Kete ( hand plaited Maori bags and Maori baskets) in contemporary designs as well as traditional patterns.

Also she creates beautiful ‘Wall Hangings’ which can give your room, hall or office that special Pacific look and feel.
These Wall Hangings are art works combined with ancient traditional Maori craft and all that for a fair price.
In a price range starting from 100 euro you can own such a fine handplaited piece of art for your wall. (Excluding freight costs in the Netherlands),
You can choose underneath (please use inner-scroll) from several types and sizes of hand plaited Maori Kete and Maori Pikau as well as the Maori Wall hangings.
Small handbags, medium handbags, large shopping bags, Pikau – backpacks, as well as the Kete Whakairo with 'carving like' patterns, the wall decorations with each its own colour, symbolism and style.

All these pieces of Maori weaving art are handcrafted (plaited and woven) by Rita and therefore the images are guidelines for no weaving will ever be the same and that makes them so unique and special, real one-offs.

The natural fibres matched with beautiful subtle colours give them exotic accents. They righteously deserve to be seen as true art in its most natural way. Superb gifts for that special person or that special occasion.
