About us

Creative kiwi couple Benjamin Madden and Marisa McLuckie combine their mutual interest in ancient techniques with modern tools to handcraft one-of-a-kind art knives, sculptures and jewellery.

Working from their home studios at Mount Bruce in the Wairarapa, they repurpose salvaged and fossicked materials to create future heirloom artifact treasures with provenance from metal, wood, stone and bone.

Benjamin is accredited to carve Ngai Tahu pounamu and all of our kawakawa pounamu artworks can be authenticated and traced back to their Hokitika origins by a unique code on www.ngaitahupounamu.com
