Te Tai Poutini Pounamu
All of our pieces are carved from pounamu found on the West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu. Each stone is taken with consideration of tikanga and acknowledging our whenua and tupuna.
Our name 'Pou Creations' comes from many names of significance to our whānau. Pounamu being the most obvious. Pouri, who is our lead carver. Poutama, the stairway of knowledge paved by Tane Mahuta but also a whānau name passed down through generations. Lastly, pou, a symbol of support.

We are a small whānau business established in 2024. Our carvers, Pouri and Teina, are self-taught. They started carving pounamu as a hobby, making pieces for our whānau. Inspired by our Māori whakapapa and the natural beauty of Aotearoa, each piece represents the beauty of the taiao.
