Glitz Art Glass and Golden Bay Toys
Hand made glass bead studio and old fashioned wooden toys. Commercial Street, Takaka. Lesley’s work is influenced by nature and the people she designs it for, and each piece is always designed with the wearer in mind. All aspects of this relationship are explored, from the practical aspects of comfort and usability to fashion and even colour therapy. Her work is all of the highest quality – all the glass beads are kiln annealed and extremely strong, and components are chosen carefully to ensure a lifetime (or many lifetimes) of joy.
Estuary Arts
An extensive range of art work in ceramic and glass, as well as acrylic and watercolour paintings. created by Rose Little and Bruce Hamlin. Nature is their inspiration: the hills, mountains and tidal estuaries of Golden Bay and Nelson; flora and fauna, the sea and the human form provide design motifs for this creative couple.
