Sands Carving Studio warmly invites you to the public opening of our new premises  on Saturday 2 November 2024.

Additionally, to share our excitement with the community and to celebrate our grand opening, we are offering a chance to win a $2000 voucher of in-store credit to spend  at Sands Carving Studio to visitors on the day.

Our passion for craftsmanship and quality shines through every creation, and we can’t wait to share these timeless treasures with you.

Find us at 5 Keddell St, Frankton, Hamilton. We’ll see you there!
