Paul Anderson

Paul has been carving Pounamu for the last 30 years, taking great pleasure in his work. He began his carving journey with bone in Dunedin, and later travelled to Christchurch to study under a Master Carver. There, he learned the Māori designs and the cultural meanings behind each of the carvings he was creating.

Paul now lives in Greymouth and works from his own workshop, where he carves alongside his sons, Mark and Shane—passing down knowledge, tradition, and skill through generations.
