Featured Studio
Tawa Views
Back to where it all started, Kiff Art (Formerly Simply Wrought Iron) will this year be displayed at The Tawa Views Gallery as it was. Show casing garden art, furniture, sculptural works, functional art & much more. The walk up the drive will be well worth the effort. There is also sculptural works situated next to the Castlecliff Library on Rangiora Street.
