Arapuni Artisans
As well as Mark's paintings and Mandy's 'Somewhere in Time NZ' creations we have other works by local Arapuni Artisans. We now have painted glass by Jan Hardy at River Rainbows, etched/laser cut items from R & C Etchit, NZ native timber turned wood (by a local father and son team), acrylic art, greetings cards and goat's milk soaps by Lorraine Knott and hair sticks, gemstones, candles and earrings by Jess and Ava.

By Mandy Turner
Mandy has a BA (with honors) Degree in Applied Art which she obtained from Wolverhampton University in the UK and is a prolific artisan. She creates all manner of objets d'art in her workshop including jewellery, glass and Steampunk-inspired art.
In the coming months Mandy will be running kid's craft and jewellery classes in the school holidays. Her dream is to own her own glass kiln to enable her to make glass art which she can then teach to others to do.
