Founded in 2000 by master carver Steve Gwaliasi, Bonz and Stonz is a place where the ancient traditions of pounamu (New Zealand greenstone), bone, and shell carving are brought to life.
Hailing from the Solomon Islands, Steve’s journey into whakairo began in 1988 while working on a gold claim. As he unearthed pounamu boulders from the whenua, he felt the deep wairua (spirit) of the stone calling him to a new path—one of creation, storytelling, and cultural connection.
Whether you are a traveler seeking a hands-on experience, an artist drawn to the craft, or someone wishing to shape a personal taonga (treasure), Bonz and Stonz is a space to carve, create, and connect to the land, the ocean, and the traditions that bind us across the Pacific.
