Atiu Fibre Arts Studio produces art and craft works inspired by traditional Cook Islands textile art and created with modern knowledge and skills. The studio started in 1986 with a single sewing machine, and is today a dynamic three-woman team in a 80 sq. m. studio, gallery
and shop.
The Fibre Arts Studio was commissioned to create artwork for banks, hotels, the National Culture Centre on Rarotonga and the Intercontinental Hotel on Maui (Hawaii). The Victoria Art Gallery in Melbourne (Australia) acquired one of the Studio's tivaivai for their permanent collection. Many works are in public and private art collections in the Cook Islands and abroad. Colourful Polynesian patterns are combined with contemporary design and innovative techniques of sewing and embroidery.
There are many other tours available on Atiu including local fishing tours, Rimarau Burial Cave Tour and Raka’s Cave. You may also hire a motorcycle, bicycle or small car and explore on your own. |
