The Bone Studio and Gallery

The Gallery's Artists




The intention of The Bone Studio and Gallery is to provide an outlet for the retail and commissioning of quality New Zealand carvings.

I will introduce you to the following list of artists with a few brief words of description and allow you to visit their pages where you'll discover the delights each of these talented carvers creates.

I've placed a couple of examples of each artist's work on their page -- in thumbnail size. Click on those images to see the larger image then use your browser's BACK button to return to the artist's page.

Artist Materials and styles
Ian Thorne Beefbone, whalebone and teeth, ebony, jade, stone, shell and horns.
Brian Shields Bone, stone
Gary Wilson Wood (Maori style)
Pita Tauwhare Jade (hand tools)

Remember, if you don't see what you like on the artist's pages but recognize the quality in their workmanship, I can arrange to have a work commissioned from any one of them.
