“I sit in my studio overlooking the Manukau Moana and beside Pukekiwiriki Pā where I handcut each raukura. I tune in to you and your order and create with aroha and blessings.
The price is the same regardless of size as we are honouring the taonga and what it symbolises – that we stand with mana and honour our responsibilities to the whenua and moana.
Haley Lowe was born to be an artist- her fondest childhood memories were creating pieces from ribbons, cards, and wrapping paper from her mother’s and Nana’s cupboards.It was this same curiosity that led Haley to create her first feather-shaped earrings from the flexible black material of a damaged bike tyre. This in turn, became the inception of their business ‘O Te Motu Creations’. Haley and her daughter, Mereana, are focused on redirecting waste from landfills by repurposing discarded materials into fashionable earrings. Each purchase further supports Mereana in her homeschooling journey as she learns applied numeracy, literacy, creativity, and social skills through their creative business.
