Peter Van Rooyen is the President of the Manukau Volunteer Coastguard and also a master craftsman. We invited him to create a mask, cast in metal. This was sold in a Silent auction as part of the fundraiser for the new Coastguard Base in French Bay.
David Van Diepen – artist, carver… his element in this exhibition is wood.
We are also displaying collections from people with a passion for the beautiful and unique.
Inventive and original works on display … in materials ranging from mixed media, metal, wood, ceramics, fabric, feather, fibre and much more …
