Hand-decorated ceramic poultry created by Yvonne Sutherland has turned this Harington Point gift shop into a destination for New Zealand folk art. Inspired by the traditional poultry breeds kept by pioneer women, the workshop produces collectable ceramic chicken figurines and roosters, alongside greeting cards, posters, A4 prints, printed kitchen linen, and tableware. High demand means shelves can run low, and we hear that larger hens, roosters, and family sets have recently been out of stock with only small hens available to purchase.
Tucked out on the Otago Peninsula at Harington Point in Dunedin, it offers overseas visitors and day-trippers a distinctly local craft tradition you will not find in standard souvenir stores. Phone orders and online shipping cater to collectors further afield. Our pick on the peninsula for an authentic piece of handcrafted Dunedin folk art to tuck into a suitcase.
