Create your own taonga (treasured object) with the guidance of our expert carvers, using authentic pounamu (New Zealand greenstone). You don’t need any experience - you’ll shape the stone yourself, step by step, with our support.
This workshop is designed for entry-level carvers with next to no carving experience, and will take up to 6-7 hrs. In this workshop we will cover the cultural history of the form, the tools and skills necessary for stone-carving and will guide participants through the process of creating a kōuma pounamu. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a fully completed and bound kōuma to take home.
