TAONGA COLLECTION
Taonga | Special Maori heirloom - Pounamu or Pendant | Traditional Maori Necklace
An exclusive collection created with reclaimed century old native wood sourced from all around New Zealand. Every piece is completely unique & created with precision woodwork that highlights my love & passion for the Pounamu craftsmanship. Sculpting from native timber & resin to create one off pendant shaped pieces of wall art. This process takes around two - three weeks to complete with a combination of resin curation time & intense woodworking with the help of my amazing husband. Truly a dream team to make this collection what it is. Honoring and enhancing the traditions of my Maori Culture.

WOODWORK PROCESS
A little sneak peak of the process consists with weeks of curing, days of sculpting and hours of sanding with the help of my amazing husband Ant. Finished with a top coat of resin and lashing the rope. Using over 20 different tools or methods to handcraft these very unique pieces. Not one piece is the same.
