Are you looking for an activity without hiking in NZ?

Or something to do during bad weather? Or just something special?

Then try the bone carving workshop in Nelson! It is really amazing!!

You can design your own carving or pick from a selection of Maori symbols. Draw it on bone, cut it out and then see the stunning process of you turning a piece of bone to a beautiful, unique carving!

Stephan patiently explains how to do every single step and helps you through the tricky parts.

I'm not sure what I liked best:

The process of the carving that was a lot of fun, learning about the traditional Maori background and symbolism, that it was actually me who created the carbing, or just the beautiful, unique result - a really special NZ souvenir!

You don't want to miss it, it is worth every cent!
