About Us

 

Ko Melanie tōku ingoa. ko Te Arawa rua ko Tainui tōku Iwi.

To Uplift, Equip, Unite, and Encourage. Huatau Studio is a reflection of helping others by words and actions.  Weaving with harakeke strand by strand has been a journey. Creating pieces that are limited edition pieces which makes it more personal then pieces that are bulk and easy to find. My Koro and Nan would have encouraged me to keep going, so after creating multiple pieces of jewelry as a hobby, including making Poi for performing for whanau and kapa haka, Huatau was created.

The weaving that I will be doing are all original pieces, the earrings are polymer clay pieces some original especially in the variations of different colour. All Poi are made onsite in Waikato after recently moving from Rotorua.

Huatau: Be comely, suitable, elegant, graceful. 

The scriptures say, to wage war with Prophecy that has been given to you, fan it into flames.
