Our Place
Te Kapa carvings connect you to the whenua-land of Aotearoa New Zealand - a connection between wairua-spirit and mauri-life force from the whenua that is Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our Stone
Our Pounamu stone is sourced locally in Tai Poutini-West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand. We centre ourselves in Hokitika, and as an authenticated carver through Ngāti Tahu we acknowledge Ngāti Waewae who are the kaitiaki (guardians) of pounamu stone. Specialising in carving puhoro-Māori instruments.

Our Background
My ancestors were tōhunga—masters in the sacred art of carving. This ancestral connection continues to guide my journey, grounding my practice in tradition, and in the enduring spirit of toi Māori.
