Wonderful new work just in from Mike Paora, the striking Poutama (Stairway to Heaven), the super detailed Mahi Tahi with five types of timber and Rā (Sun), which has a fantastic 3D aspect. ☀️ Mike’s work has been crafted from salvaged timbers, their stories playing a role in the māna of each completed piece. Find them in our galleries and online at www.thepoiroom.co.nz POUTAMA // STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN MAHI TAHI // RĀ // SUN By Mike Paora (Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Tūwharetoa) #Thepoiroom #nzartgallery #nzartcollectors #nzartists
OPENING TOMORROW! 🌸🦢🌼🕯️🌸🦭🌼🎈 Meet Dawn Clayden, the ceramicist who has wowed customers at The Poi Room consistently with her gorgeous, flower laden vases, swans, kitty cats, spacemen and more.

Get in quick if this one appeals to you, Kirsty’s landscapes are super popular 🌳🌴 Here’s what Kirsty says about this Coromandel scene: This is the spectacular view in Manaia as you make your descent from the top of the hill towards Coromandel township. It will be familiar to so many who have their holidays on our beautiful east coast.
