We are only a phone call, wee email or a little visit away. It takes an hour from Auckland to Matakana, and the area is well worth the visit. "Only an hour, but a world away", is what we say. 

In whichever way you choose, we would love to hear from you.

In collaboration with Whitespace Gallery in Auckland, Artform presents artist Penny Howard - 3 small works showing the narrative of Penny's journey as a contemporary Kiwi - of Maori, Scottish and Irish descent she is in search of her cultural identity. Penny's works are exquisite and beautifully executed. View at Artform now.
Anne Hudson translated a trip to Antarctica into a series of ceramic bowls - the 'Ice Bowls'. And just as the ice can be smooth or precarious, the bowls are refined or distressed, showing colours from the deep water to the start white and golden tips of the sunlight touching the icicles. Inspiring. View her story, and an interview, on our blog.
'Bereft' by Annie McIver is apt for last year - beautiful humanity captured in clay, a mother with her baby, bereft for a reason no one wants to know but can only imagine. Annie, known for her hand built animals with human expressions, uses delicate intuition to bring emotions to the surface. Hauntingly beautiful.
Master Carver Anton Forde has artistic integrity to simply 'let be' - creating these masterful sculptures of Pounamu and stone from the Albert Barracks Wall, bringing history and clashing culture to your home. How simply it balances, but what it took to get there....
Whitespace is visiting Artform Gallery in Matakana, with stunning artwork by Garry Currin, Bing Dawe, Lianne Edwards and others on display. Stunning pieces by renowned artists, carefully selected by Deborah White and Artform to bring you a taste of the city to our village. View throughout the summer.
New to Artform, Bruce Stillwell creates amazing pieces that are astounding viewers who don't believe us they are not a lightbox. The clever and perfectly executed string is placed precisely, and where it overlaps, it glows! Sounds simple - it ain't!
Beauty in lilac, with carefully hand sculpted roses on the outside AND inside of this stunning vessel by Cathy Gould. We love the work Cathy does, each one-of-a-kind as it is impossible to replicate. Then there is the element of surprise, as each firing with different glazes is somewhat controlled....and somewhat not.
Bewildering sculpture of different medium, along with stunning fine art to set the tone for 2021. Summer Sessions on at Artform.
New Artist, Anneke Bester, brings conversation of the female figure into all work she creates. Cast Bronze, often portraying the strength and resilience of women, they are beautifully elegant.
Rebecca Heap is one of our favs, albeit we have a few. This delightful person blends her love of glass art from Scandinavia with Kiwi ingenuity and a stunning colour palette, as is shown in the Ice Bowl here.
You can't get more classic John Parker thank Grooved Vessels in Black & White. Then again, the classic John Parker has a lot of classics....perfection & balance, however, are the signature to this master potter.
Beautiful new body of work by the wonderful Justin Culina, glassblower extraordinaire. These designs are inspired by New Zealand native birds...check out our blog to find out more.
Merry Christmas Matakana. Last few days for all of those we know are as late in selecting the special gifts as we are ourselves. You would have thought we would be ahead of the game....but we do have the keys to a rather special gallery. View online or visit us this week - so many treasures to suit all styles and many budgets.
Art Deco inspired with a twist of sweetness and delicacy, the selection of porcelain vessels by Dawn Clayden are always some of most sought after pieces. Lots of little ring dishes in the gallery just in time for Christmas.
Wee little Bud Vessels, beautifully organic and with heaps of personality. I would want one on my bed side table...
Blown, cut, carved and etched - 4 processes and hours of labour goes into the Greg Swinburne toffee like disks.
Blooming Fantastical - the stunning work of Dionne Wood now at Artform. Hours and hours of meticulous skill, work, patience and talent. A piece to make you smile with delight every day.
Toffee colours going into dark blues & royal purples, wrapped in clear crystal - the Eclipse Vases are a Hoglund Art Glass statement that provide as much joy now as they did when initially designed and made. A classic....
WOW category winner Beatrice Carlson combines French style, fruity creativity and sheer New Zealand bliss with her funky, elegant range of jewellery which we are proud to sell. Try them on...you simply have to!
Every NZ home needs some John Parker. With his classic black & white, grooved and volcanic glaze you can combine practicality of a vase with the supremely sculptural effect of his stunning vessels.
