Sas Pearce – Unique & Special Things, Art and Craft Studio (Stop 4)

Sas Pearce is a multidisciplinary artist whose tactile, nature-rooted practice spans ceramics, textiles, and printmaking. Working with clay, natural fibres, and plant-based dyes, she creates one-of-a-kind pieces that explore texture, memory, and the quiet stories found in nature.

Her work is deeply influenced by cultural exchange, traditional craft techniques, and her ongoing dialogue with the landscape around her. Sas’ thoughtfully transformed home studio in Tahawai is a warm, inviting space that offers visitors a chance to connect with both the artist and her process. From hand-built ceramics to wild-fibre weavings, the studio celebrates mindful making and creative exploration.

This year, the studio will also host the captivating outdoor sculptures of Sue Stowell, creating a unique dialogue between natural fibres, clay, and metal.”
