Tucked along the riverbank in Matakana village, this craft and art space showcases handcrafted objects, sculpture, and wall art from more than sixty artists across Aotearoa. The displays centre on three-dimensional tactile craft, bringing together blown glass, crystal glass sculpture, ceramic pieces, woodwork, cast glass, and contemporary jewellery alongside curated wall works. Pieces highlight skilled regional studio practices, from Robin Ranga’s sculpture to layered double-bubble blown glass and fluid forms by makers such as Rebecca Heap, Katie Brown, and Justin Culina.
You will find it at Shop 6, 2 Matakana Valley Road, an easy hour’s trip north of Auckland and convenient to combine with a day exploring the village. Because the collections focus heavily on handmade physical disciplines, the space suits anyone seeking distinctive original gifts or substantial architectural craft pieces that reflect New Zealand materials and makers.
