Behind every piece is a person, an idea and a story.

There’s Ross Tucker shaping functional wooden art at Tuckercraft; Rioa Skin elevating everyday rituals through beautifully considered skincare; and ZaZing designing distinctive contemporary jewellery that brings individuality and character to every look.

Kiki Seed Crackers offers seriously delicious, crisp seed crackers made for sharing, while Kiwi in a Box brings beloved New Zealand icons to life through vibrant, handcrafted layered-paper artworks filled with nostalgia and Kiwi charm. Tides Out Maps captures meaningful places and much-loved coastlines through beautifully detailed map art.

These are not anonymous products on crowded shelves. They carry the hands, ideas and experiences of the people who created them.

Come and meet them this Sunday, Auckland Showgrounds.
