Tāniko represents a high point in Māori weaving, yet is a point that anyone with time and application can reach. That is the message of Sir Hirini Moko Meads accessible, inspiring work, which has been in print in various forms since 1958. This redesigned and updated edition takes the reader from the history and theory of tāniko into the practice, with numerous patterns and instructions for weaving at home or in class.
