The Coromandel region has a reputation for its pioneering arts and crafts people and is home to a large number of talented artists. Many say it’s the unique environment or perhaps it is the exquisite scenery, which provides the inspiration to produce the works of art that flow from the minds and hands of the Hauraki Coromandel artists.
