Great local artists work in silk, wood, jade , bone and many other mediums. We were able to purchase great wood pieces reclaimed from Kouri stumps and others from sustainable Rimu. The gallery was able to ship it back to the States for us, though not cheap, worth it to avoid the hassle and weight of dragging it with our baggage. It just feels better to support local artists and their co-ops

With so many big shops bringing in jade pieces made from BC nephrite and carved/polished in Asia- I was thrilled to find local stonework! It was stunning. So many artists are represented- there's something for everyone. Paintings, silk, woodwork, pottery, jewelry and beautiful stonework, I highly recommend you stop in and have a look.

I found some good craft items here recently. I had been looking at several items as I was traveling around NZ. The prices at the Co-op were very good - cheaper than Auckland. I bought some lovely products made of native NZ woods like rimu. They have a nice selection.
