Beautiful hand thrown pottery by Amanda Stowers from Masina Creative.
Each piece is thrown by hand on the pottery wheel, freehand carved, bisque fired in a pottery kiln, glazed by hand and fired again.
“The Mana of my ancestors pour from my hands, through my tools and into the clay as I work on each piece. Everything I make is unique and made with alofa”.
This pedestal bowl has a Siapo (Tapa) Pattern carved into it.
Siapo, or tapa, is a centuries-old Samoan cultural treasure. For centuries this intricate art form Siapo has been passed from generation to generation. It’s more than just decoration, siapo symbolizes Samoan heritage and has been used for a variety of purposes, from clothing and burial shrouds to ceremonial garments and bed covers.
