Tutu Toi

Milestone moment 👨🏾‍🎓 🎓

Completed my whakairo (carving) studies with Te Wananga o Aotearoa and graduating this Thursday.

Snippets of my final submission piece inspired by my Nan.

Whakairo (traditional carving) is now part of my practice and being shared into my pakihi (my business).

Ngā mihi to those who guided me and for those who were on the journey.

He timatanga hou 🔥

🔑 Not your average 21st key…

This custom 21st key was designed by .purcell for his oldest nephew .mellars —carving a visual kōrero that intertwines three whakapapa lines: Māori, Samoan, and Dutch (with a cheeky nod to Scandinavian roots).

Made from layered wood and acrylic, it was brought to life on our laser machine—precision-cut and full of all the good feels.

And yes, if you’re wondering… that is “21” in Runic 😎

We don’t do basic.

🌀 NEW DROP: 3D PRINTED KUKU FOR RARANGA! 🌀

Say kia ora to our Tutu Toi 3D printed kuku/kutai shells — designed with ❤️ right here in Aotearoa 🇳🇿 and made to tautoko both seasoned weavers and nga kaiako hou (beginners) alike!

✨ Born out of a real need — after artist Jayden's natural shells shattered, he designed these beauties to be accessible, durable, and fit-for-purpose while still respecting the traditional tools of our tūpuna.

💡 Not here to replace your taonga — these are meant to support your raranga journey, whether you’re at the pa harakeke 🌿 or weaving in your lounge 🧺

🖐🏽 Available in:
✅ Left or Right handed
