If you want a special piece of authentic Māori pounamu (jade, greenstone) then come and visit Garth in his studio/gallery.
About
Garth hand carves every pendant and sculpture personally from genuine West Coast jade that has been collected by Garth and his whanau (family) from West Coast Rivers and Mountains.
Come in and watch Garth carve, learn about the special meanings of the Maori designs and hear about the history of the pounamu (jade) here on the West Coast.
Garth is easy to find on the road to Shantytown. Only 600 metres off State Highway 6, up Rutherglen Road.
