Based in Rotorua, our award-winning carvers shape each piece of pounamu by hand, honouring the traditions, stories, and significance it carries.
Each piece is unique, and begins with the stone itself. Its colour, grain and natural form guide the design before it is cut, shaped, and refined to reveal the character within. Explore the many forms of pounamu.
“We are a crew of unique individuals with a common goal to live, learn & grow through our culture, our art, and our stone.”
Taonga holds deep significance as treasured expressions of meaning, connection, and identity within te ao Māori. As we carve, we bring intention to each design - from the protection of the manaia to the unfolding spiral of the koru - shaping pounamu with its meaning always in mind.
“The meaning of each piece is not added at the end, it is revealed through the carving, shaped by the flow, form and spirit of the stone.”
“Our strength comes not just from the hands that shape the stone, but from the relationships, wellbeing and shared purpose that shape us as a team.”
