Sam Genet Pottery Paua Shells

Stunning handmade realistic paua shells made by Kaikōura local artist Sam Genet.

Handcrafted by Sam Genet in his workshop in Kaikōura, each piece is entirely handmade and one of a kind. Sam is known for his work on major film productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and King Kong.

Every piece is hand-sculpted, then carefully glazed and kiln-fired to ensure durability and longevity. Subtle variations occur naturally through the handmade process, making each creation unique.

Inspired by the ocean and crafted with precision, these pieces combine artistic skill, cinematic expertise, and traditional craftsmanship.

* Sizes may vary as each piece is individually handmade*
* Colours may also vary with each glaze*
