Design a Custom Taonga

Taonga, in Aotearoa New Zealand, are treasures that will often be passed down through generations. We believe they should be as unique as the individual receiving it.

We welcome the chance to work with you to create a personalised and meaningful taonga. We take a collaborative approach, working with you to incorporate the representations and symbols you want your piece to embody.

Whether you want to mark a special occasion - or want something uniquely designed - our talented kaiwhakairo (carvers) and jewellers will help bring your ideas to life.

While we specialise in traditional Māori forms, we welcome all enquiries, including modern and contemporary designs. We have created such items as a railway coupling hook, a guitar, and a deer head - so there are no bounds for what we can potentially create together.

Get in touch at contact@sandscarvingstudio.com to start the conversation, or give us a call at 027 759 9559. Even better, come into our store and workshop at 5 Keddell Street in Frankton, Kirikiriroa Hamilton and talk to one of our carvers about how we can make your vision a reality.
