Mahara
Sculpture Park and
Pottery
Welcome to the website of Mahara Sculpture Park and Pottery, a magical and supremely
peaceful haven in 10 acres of loveliness set in the Tapu Valley, right in the heart of the
Coromandel Peninsula, just a few kilometers north of Thames. A piece of paradise
combining a blend of the manicured with more than a touch of the wild side, the result of
years of dedication and vision by Heather Chesterman it’s creator.
Some of the features you will enjoy:
•
Heathers working pottery along with a myriad of her unique
creations
•
A 7 circuit Cretan Labyrinth to centre yourself
•
The Willow Dome
•
The Stone Circle, particularly haunting and beautiful on a full
moon night
•
Easy Bush Walks through tree fern forests with eclectic works of
art, all with just enough “wild” to know you are here and immersed
in the experience
•
Glorious gardenscapes filled with unique pottery, sculpture, water
features and room to spread out
•
Organic and powerful works sculpted on site in the Hammer Dome
•
A Swing with a view, such a view.......
•
The feeling of being refreshed, enhanced and at peace.
All of this and more cradled within the forested hills of the Tapu Valley, overlooked by the
majestic Maumaupaki “The mountain that entraps fair skies”, source of much creative
inspiration and daily enjoyment
Heather trusts that from these pages you get a “feel” for Mahara and are able to make
the space in your life to come and share the experience of this magic spot, walk the ways
and leave refreshed.
