Carvings & sculpture
Carved Creations
My name is Aaron Ellis-Smith. I was born in New Zealand and live in Mangawhai, a coastal town on the east coast of the north island, 1 hour south of Whangarei.
I began carving in 2004 and have always loved timber. I carve most types of wood (and occasionally other mediums), but find swamp kauri the most enjoyable timber to sculpt. Something about it’s character, age (this can range from 2000 to 50,000 years old), feeling and uniqueness to New Zealand inspires me. I also enjoy New Zealand’s native forest, and perhaps part of the reason I love swamp kauri is, although it is a finite resource, it doesn’t require damage to, or the felling of our wonderful native forest.
Carving is something I enjoy doing, being a part of a pieces evolution into final form is something I never get tired of. I hope that those who see my work gain as much pleasure from the pieces, as I received creating them.

Rings
Custom Coin Rings
I’m Matt and in 2015 started making jewelry from coins. I’m based in Manawatu New Zealand.
They are all handcrafted with pride and polished or left with a patina on them if so desired. I have a small number of premade pieces available but generally make to order. Products have sent as far as Japan and USA.
If you have a coin that you want to be made to a ring, I can make one for you.

Pottery, porcelain and ceramics
Kevin Kilsby Ceramics
Kevin began making pottery in 1988. His handbuilt work and sculptural pieces were exhibited in numerous local and national exhibitions. His early work is represented in public and private collections. Pottery is his full-time occupation, and together with his talented team they now produce a range of slip cast ware which is sold all around New Zealand.
Kevin Kilsby Ceramics is probably best known for its garden Pukekos, although the entire range of native birds, tableware, wall art and sculpture is available directly from the studio in Auckland or by mail order.

My name is Liane Ashman, I am based on the Kapiti Coast and I create Clay Figures using air-dry clay and other found objects.
My characters are an intimate reflection of our vulnerabilities, quiet strengths and quirks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them.
I am working on a new collection at the moment titled ‘A leap of Faith’. I also have prints available of most pieces.

Sammy’s Artworks
I am 23 and from the beautiful Hibiscus Coast in Auckland. I absolutely love animals and nature and I’ve almost finished my Bachelor of Science in Ecology! I mainly draw New Zealand birds, they’re so beautiful and unique. I love to incorporate species I have learned about from my degree into my artwork.

Sew Precious
My name is Sarah Green. I am 15 and live in North Canterbury. I have been working on a felting and sewing business called Sew Precious NZ these last couple of years as part of my homeschooling.
I love to needle felt NZ birds (my fantails being particularly popular) baby animals, butterflies, dolls, pendants, nativity sets, angels, 3D pet portraiture, and I sew and crochet with what time I have left. As I’m still a student, I only have time to make small runs of stock but can take on a small number of commissions, particularly in the months leading up to Christmas.
I am passionate about what I make and have sold here in NZ and internationally.
