Welcome to the world of Nick Spicer Balme and Madelyne Gourdin, globally renowned Pounamu carvers.
Growing up in New Zealand, Nick was drawn to carving as a counterbalance to life in the modern world. Mady discovered her love for Pounamu carving, and then met Nick. Together they created Kawakawa Stone Limited. Since then, they have travelled the world, creating work and hunting for different Jade sources. Through these travels, they have discovered different jade cultures and arts, which has influenced her work and grown her practice. Every trip has been “eye-opening” into endless sources of inspiration, ideas, and techniques.

Hi Everyone ??. I’m Carly and I make baby teethers over at Wednesday’s Child NZ. I started this little side hustle 2 years ago, located in Auckland, and was encouraged to share my product with you all by some loyal friends/customers.
I make several different styles but by far our most popular are the personalised teethers. These are all custom made to order.
Colours can be tailored to suit. All teethers are made from food grade silicone and untreated Beech Wood. The Beech Wood is naturally antibacterial when left untreated. The silicone is free from BPA, lead, cadmium, phthalates, PVC and latex. No nasties around here!
The Woolshed Gallery (Chillwind Clothing) started in Akaroa in 1995 selling sheepskin footwear made in New Zealand (NZ). Today the business also operates in Hanmer, Hokitika and Kaikoura and has a second shop in Akaroa called Woolworx, and a second shop in Hokitika called Millies Merinos.
They stock NZ made products and product made from NZ raw materials. They specialise in clothing made from Merino sheep wool (the finest sheep wool in the world) and Possum fur. The Brush Tail Possum comes from Australia with NZ being the only other country to have them in the wild. They are protected in Australia, but in NZ they require control to protect our native forest and birds.
Items include clothing (under garments to outer garments) made from Merino wool, Possum fur and leather. They also have slippers, shoes, boots, scarves, hats, gloves, blankets, duvets, and accessories.
Hello everyone! I am based in the Tararua District and create clothing in my little sewing studio. I stated sewing for myself and my children 4 years ago as I was sick of the synthetic, poor quality and generic looking clothing I found in stores.
My most popular items are womens’ and children’s underwear. But regularly make hoodies, pants and tees. I work with mostly cotton and merino fabrics.
I can make most children’s items up to a size 12/14 and women’s up to 3xl.
You pick the fabric you love and I create something you will love!
Project Cookie Island donates fabric masks to kids with cancer. Masks play a big part in their everyday lives with or without the pandemic. Due to chemo, these kids have to live with neutropenia (immunosuppression).
The masks help limit the chances of them breathing in dust amongst many other things that could cause them getting really sick. Our profits are used to make and donate masks to these vulnerable children.
