Mountain Jade Highlights Tour
Beskrivelse
I hjertet af Rotoruas bymidte, kun en kort gåtur fra de must-see Government Gardens, er vores kunstnere opslugt af deres håndværk, lidenskabeligt håndskærer New Zealand pounamu med kærlighed og dedikation. De inviterer dig til at komme og opdage historierne bag deres udskæringer og træde ind i vores studie for en eksklusiv oplevelse bag kulisserne. Du kommer tæt på handlingen og tilbringer uforglemmelig en-til-en tid med vores kunstnere, lærer om jadeudskæringsprocessen og ser live udskæringsdemonstrationer. Når du begiver dig ud på en rejse ind i pounamus rige historie, vil du opdage fascinerende indsigt i stenens kulturelle betydning og dens traditionelle anvendelser og værdier. For at toppe det hele, vil du vælge dit helt eget stykke pounamu og lære, hvordan du snor det i en halskæde, som du kan tage med hjem og værdsætte for altid. Tilgængelig kl. 10.00 dagligt. Spædbørns alder er 0-2 år.

My Family loved it, Highly recommend, Tour guides were really helpful, Lovely, Learned alot especially my children Lovely Ponamu Jade received as a Gift all my children & Partner cannot speak Highly and would love too do it again.
Informative look into the history and culture behind Pounarmu (New Zealand green stone) followed by a hand crafting demonstration. The shop items were also very reasonably priced.
Amazing experience and worth the money, you even receive your very own Pounamu necklace to cherish!
Hoped to see more in depth carving by the artist. The carving portion of the tour was 5 mins. The staff was kind and helpful, the completed pieces in the shop were beautiful. I wouldn't recommend the tour, just visit the shop.
My friend and I had a fabulous visit in Rotorua with Kaylynn as our "tour guide". She shared authentically about the cultural and historical significance of pounamu, and Dylan did an excellent job explaining the art of cutting and shaping the pieces. James was also in the room and had a magnificent design he was working on. Beautiful showroom and pieces for sale in all budgets. I've been wearing mine since our visit.
Very interesting history of pounamu carving in NZ, and tge different types of stone. Fascinating demo of the stone shaping and carving which shows how much work goes into these. An added bonus was being able to choose a pendant to take home
This was really cool to learn about and watch the carvers in action. The piece of jade you get at the end is chosen by you and placed on a string then and there so you can wear it and feel part of the deeply meaningful jade culture. Loved it!
Wonderful experience with an experienced guide and jade carver. We learned a lot and felt very warmly welcomed. The small jade gift at the end was the icing on an already wonderful tour. Thank you!
Very cool multifaceted (pun intended) overview of Jade in New Zealand. Goes over the history and the culture surrounding jade or pounamu, and a cutter shows us his process and equipment live. Very informative and cool. The souvenir was great too and I’ll wear it as a necklace. P.S. that’s one huge chunk of nephrite jade
Very nice experience, informative demonstration on jade, its significance in the Maori culture and how it is crafted
