Kia ora! I'm Amelia, a designer and woodworker.

I create beautiful handcrafted furniture and custom made projects using wood for your home or retail store or larger commercial project. I make high quality works that will last, from wood that is sustainable and sourced responsibly, and am happy to collaborate with you through the process of design to suit your brief and needs. I have a Masters of Architecture from RMIT and I apply this disciplined knowledge to the field of the arts and crafts, through combining user practicality and timeless aesthetic together through my work.

Aside from creating beautiful pieces of art and furniture I am available to assist with design and make projects for custom fabrication, and conceptual design for homes, hospitality and retail projects.

Please get in touch for your latest projects — I can complete and ship projects Aotearoa-wide.

ARC Fine Art Services is a boutique art services company based in Tauranga. We offer a complete range of art services for corporate and private clients. We specialise in picture hanging, artwork transportation and bespoke hand finished frames.

With two decades experience working in the visual arts, I'm an expert in preservation framing with a keen eye for good design. My past experience includes work as a picture framer and commercial photographer, and an archivist and technician for galleries and museums in New Zealand and Australia. My previous experience in producing hand-finished ‘closed corner’ frames with a leading framing studio in Melbourne gives me special insight in the development of styles of framing which have not been readily available to customers in New Zealand to date.

We are two friends and cousins — Anne and Gilly — who joyfully chucked in a couple of decades in editing and communications roles to work with our hands and hearts restoring much loved but tired furniture and creating bespoke cushions and soft furnishings for clients.

We work from our little workshop in leafy Wilton and are currently completing our NZ Trade Certificates in upholstery with our upholstery mentor. We love to chat with our clients about fabric and furniture, and will go out of our way to help you find the perfect fabric or look for rejuvenating your pieces in a way that is uniquely you. We hate to see beautiful furniture needlessly going to landfill!

She also holds a Level 2 Certificate in Horticulture from The Royal Horticultural Society in London, which she passed with Commendation.

Tēnā koe, I'm Rachel and I design, construct, and maintain beautiful low maintenance gardens. I use permaculture principles so that gardens are best suited to their site, and to the people who will use and love them. I improve the existing soil and make suitable plant selections to ensure the success of your garden. I avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides in the garden and focus instead on plant and soil health. Collaborating with qualified tradespeople and artists (murals and sculpture) we work with integrity care and excellence to create unique and inspiring outdoor areas, and wildlife habitats. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your garden.

Diploma of Landscape Design, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Permaculture Design Certificate.

Kia ora! I am an independent contractor with a degree in industrial design and also have commercial construction experience. As a private contractor, I have worked in the film industry creating large scale sets and moving walls, built stages for festivals, worked on landscaping projects, and have painted interiors.

My work requires a lot of problem-solving, and so I specialise in odd jobs and unique creative projects that challenge my knowledge and skills.

We are industry-qualified gardeners servicing residential gardens on a bi-monthly maintenance cycle across the seasons — planting and planting designs, pruning, fertilising, pest and disease management, weeding, and general tidying. We don't use chemicals but we do care for gardens by locating plants where they can meet their full potential, maintaining healthy soil to boost plants' natural defense systems, and physically pruning and removing pests and diseases.

We tailor our services to your garden requirements and budget. Our most popular service is bi-monthly garden maintenance, but we can also help you with planting designs and one off tidy up jobs. Following an initial garden visit, our standard hourly charge out rate is $45/hr (including travel time from central Wellington). Please note that I will need to charge GST from April 2022, which will raise the price per labour hour to $52 (incl. GST).

Please get in touch to find out more about who we are and what services we offer.
