Gifts to charity donors

In our efforts to try to maximise the amount of money we can raise for charity, TastyTrek have teamed up.  Don Campbell of the The Bone Art Place has gifted TastyTrek with 30 assorted bone and mother of pearl carvings that we intend to give out to our most generous charity donors. We will be gifting these carvings to donors at the end of our trek as a thank you for helping us reach our charity goal. 

    

The carvings themselves are heavily derived from Maori culture and symbolism and are all handmade by local kiwi artists. They truly are works of art in themselves and must be seen and felt to be truly appreciated.

After meeting with Don, seeing the carvings and learning more about their significance and the pressures put on the industry through cheap, machine made bone stamps (often with designs ripped off these artists) we are very proud to be supported by and to be supporting The Bone Art Place.
