Kia ora/Welcome

I'm Steve; I have a passion for making things and I love working with those that share that passion. As a teacher and skilled craftsman I offer,

a range of Educational Services, in which I work with teachers and young people of all ages to create powerful opportunities for learning that are suitable for:
  • kindergartens
  • primary schools
  • intermediate schools
  • secondary school/colleges
  • ...and life long learners
to create a unique piece of Rustic Furniture to order for your home or work place.

I would be delighted to discuss any project you might have in mind.
