Galleries

Below are locations where you can see my work in galleries

Visit my Bowl Gallery on Kawau island

The bowl gallery can be visited most days by appointment. To arrange a time that suits please call or text 021 260 7086.

I always have a good selection of my work available for purchase.

I make an effort to take quality images of my work to display on the website but It does not quite compar to picking up a piece, to feel the balance, weight and texture each piece has in your hands. There is a real benefit to seeing the work in person.

 Visiting my gallery on Kawau island is not possible for everyone but is a great outing if you have the opportunity. Be warned as I do live on an offshore island it is a little more of an adventure to get here than simply driving up to my door!

Other ways to purchase my work.

On the website

There is a good selection of my work for sale on the Shop pages.

If you have additional questions you would like answered to help you with your purchasing decision please use the form,  (or by emailing me directly at gavin@woodenbowl.co.nz). Don’t forget to include the bowl No:  of the piece you’re inquiring about.

Commissions

Commissioning a wooden bowl or sculptural vessel is a chance to create something truly personal — a piece designed with your space, story, or collection in mind. Whether you’re a collector, a designer, or simply drawn to a work you’ve seen on my website, I’ll work with you to craft a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your vision.

Please see my commissions page for full details

Give the Gift of Choice

A Wooden Bowl gift voucher is a thoughtful way to share something truly special, while letting your loved one choose the piece that speaks to them.

Handcrafted in New Zealand from native timbers, my work carries both beauty and meaning — and a voucher makes it easy when you’re not sure exactly which piece they’ll love most.

For more details please see my gift vouchers page

“ I’ve seen a lot of wood turning up and down the country but very little compares to the quality of what you’re making.

My wife and I are very happy with the two we now proudly display in our kitchen.

Keep up the fine work “

“ We have been collecting Gavin’s pieces for several years now.  Each piece is truly unique and stunning.

They are also our ‘go to’ wedding gift which Gavin kindly engraves to personalize for the bridal couple. “

Kirsty F

I love the way Gavin transforms imperfections in a fallen native tree into utilitarian works of art.

“ I wasn’t convinced with your ‘rocking bowls’ at first. 

But you were right, there is no knocking them over! “

Sarah

“ I was looking for a wedding present that had a made in New Zealand flavour…  they say the bowl has pride of place in their new kitchen…

….just perfect thank you.”
