Mr Riki Manuel, of the Riki Rangi Maori Carving Centre in the Arts Centre, decorates a poupou (wall panel). The figure holds a greenstone axe, to mark the centre’s expansion into jade carving. Carvings will be sold in the centre’s gallery, which is next to the workshop. The centre, which opened in April, lets visitors talk with the carvers and watch them at work. The centre employs four carvers and specialises in traditional Maori pieces, using jade, timber, ivory and bone.
