Wishing all of you near and far a good break over Christmas and all the best for 2025! Thank you to everyone for all your support over the past year and beyond - enjoy a pic of our local swimming spot taken a couple of weeks ago at Paihia with its gorgeous New Zealand Christmas trees - the Pohutukawa

Took a trip down yonder to the wonderful Gallery Helena Bay this week to drop off some bowls before Christmas- so many talented people around here exhibiting their work at the Gallery and in its grounds! Take a trip out there, enjoy the art, cafe and lovely sea view (which sadly was hidden by rain when we went!!!)
Prices for our bowls start at $195 for the smallest ones (approx 15cm across)

Been a bit slack lately with posting! Here is a new beautiful free form art piece by Neville. Hours and hours of work sanding this to a really satiny smooth finish and I think he's done an amazing job!! It's now for sale at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds shop where they also have a selection of our woodturned bowls. Remember, it's free to visit the shop (just ask at reception) and no entrance fee to visit the lovely Whare Waka cafe.....

Just ask at reception and they'll give you a sticker to visit the shop only free of charge! Stock up on local arts and crafts, most of which are made in New Zealand!

We aren't at The Old Packhouse Market for the time being - if you would like to purchase any of Jeanette's lovely oven gloves and towels, please message us and we can send you photos of other designs as well. We offer payment via paypal or direct credit.
Regarding our woodwork, we will be working on some new bowls and platters over the coming weeks, which we hope to get into the Gallery at Helena Bay before Christmas.
