TATAU Silicone Impression Mat

Carry the stories of generations into your craft with the TATAU Silicone Impression Mat⎯a design rooted in Polynesian tradition and community.

This striking pattern was one of the first gifted to us by Polynesian Tatau artist Martin Tevaga, who entrusted us to share it with fellow makers and artists. Its bold geometric lines and repeating diamond and triangular motifs reflect the deep symbolism found in traditional Polynesian tattooing, where each shape holds meaning tied to the family, heritage, and identity. 

Crafted with crisp precision from Martin's original art, this mat brings a powerful cultural narrative to soap bars, resin pieces, candles, and more. It's perfect for artisans seeking to honor Polynesian design and to create pieces that carry both beauty and significance.

Because each silicone mat is individually poured and finished, you may see tiny variations in color, texture, or clarity. These subtle differences are part of the unique character of handmade artistry and won't affect your impressions or pattern quality.
