South Canterbury has become an artists Mecca, offering everything from stone carvers to painting, pottery and jewellery. The work is of an exceptionally high standard, with amazing pieces of art to take back from your holiday. In Geraldine, you find small galleries at every corner, and in Temuka on the state highway there is a fantastic gallery next to the Temuka Pottery store, which has a wonderful array of local talent from that area.

Most galleries can arrange to have a painting packed and shipped. If in doubt ask us at Kavanagh House and we will be able to direct you.
