Te Koha Aotearoa is a family-run workshop and gallery space, nestled in a dramatic Franz Josef valley. Let us guide you through the process of carving a special piece of jewellery from our beautiful range of pounamu, much of which has been sourced from local West Coast riverbeds.

TESTIMONIALS

"I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Myself and two friends recently visited, and it was the highlight of our trip to the South Island. Jan is incredible, and guides you through the whole process. The entire experience was amazing, and creating your own jade pieces is really special. Not a question of if you should go, but when."
