We have loads of lovely french oak goodies Michael has handmade with the retired old barriques from our neighbours Neudorf Vineyards, plus lost of French Country goodies too. Soon Michael will also be adding some smaller mantle size sculpture so look forward to seeing these in the next few months too!

Closed For Winter Break
29th April, 2025Hi Folks. Its that time of the year again when we recharge the batteries for a winter break. Having worked 7 days for sometime it is much needed!! Not only for rest and recovery but to perculate some new ideas and art works. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all very much for your ongoing support of the gallery and all that we offer. It’s incredibly humbling to see you return year after year. We won’t go far as there is always so much to do and the days click by pretty quickly. Our daughter Poppy will graduate in May with Honours in her Architecture Studies. It will be a very proud moment for the family.We feel incredibly lucky to do what we do here in the Upper Moutere Hills. If you find yourself in our neighbourhood we can always open by appointment, but know that we have our ONLINE SHOP for your convenience. Wishing you all a safe, warm and healthy winter. Big Hugs Jackie, Mike and Poppy MacMillan
