Artist Profile

Jayme Andersen

Jayme Andersen

Jayme believes pounamu is a magical material that deserves the best possible finish and this is what he strives for when crafting every piece. Originally from Napier, he now resides on a 10-acre lifestyle block just outside of Greymouth. Living in the heart of Marsden pounamu country, Jayme is extremely lucky to have the New River running through his land.

His passion lies with creating pieces that step away from the traditional, yet still retain a sense of appreciation and respect for the forms of our ancestors.
