NZ Rox Pendants

Every one of these greywacke pebbles began its journey high in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, and travelled for millions of years to where it was found - on the gemstone beach at Birdlings Flat.
The NZ Rox range of pendants displays the harmony that is possible between found object and technical intervention, with each piece remaining a wearable example of those elements that are native to natural New Zealand.
The purchase of these pendants helps fund the protection of Te Roto O Wairewa (Lake Forsythe) in partnership with the Wairewa Rünanga - the Kaitiaki (Guardians) of the Lake.

Wall Hangings
Detail of fern leaf design
Tim Main Coaster
|
Take home with you a reminder of the beautiful New Zealand bush.
Christchurch print maker Tim Main has used the beauty of plants native to New Zealand to create these stunning wall hangings.
Screen printed by hand, Tim has captured images of the bush – the sculptural shape of harakeke (flax) leaves and their deep red flowers and the intricacies of the fern leaf.
Size: approximately 1.9m x .5m
The raw fabric drop can be bought for $275.00.
At $375 it comes with a hanging mechanism which makes it simple to put up on your wall.
Tim Main coasters are $19.99 for a set of 6. |
Weaving
Also special to this part of the world are the works made from local harakeke (flax).
A kete is a Maori basket, traditionally made of woven flax. The intricate art of weaving has been kept alive by older Maori women and is now enjoying a renewed popularity.
 |
Simon Rutherford describes himself as "a potter with fibre". The Shop sells his "featherweights" - finely woven from local harakeke (flax), these delicate sculptures show this ancient craft in a contemporary light.
A chance meeting with a senior Maori woman in Northland introduced him to harakeke: "It was the beginning of me knowing I am a fibre artist and this was my fibre. But I'm not a Maori weaver - I'm a sculptor." He says his true teaching was from noted Ngai Tahu weaver Cath Brown.
From $39.95 |
With the right packaging from the Shop, these lovely works can be easily and safely posted.
