Taonga By Timoti is a carving studio in Tapawera, Tasman, run by the Nelson carver Timoti Moran. He hand-carves pounamu and pakohe, both prized stones, from local materials, and the studio runs carving experiences. Each taonga sold gifts one to a child in care.
Tapawera is a small Tasman village in the Motueka Valley, and the studio is a place to see and buy hand-carved work. Our pick in Tapawera for hand-carved pounamu and pakohe.
