Paetuia Studio

Paetuia Studio is Aotearoa NZ's first Maori owned Costume House based in Whanganui, UNESCO City of Design, that designs and builds costumes for film, television and theatre, and teaches sewing and pattern drafting workshops. Our studio name is endorsed by local Kaumatua (elders) meaning "Paetuia - the realm of sewing". Maori Costume Designer | Community | Textiles | Stories | Dreams
