Mio

I was born and raised in Japan. After a few-year stint in London, I’ve settled down in Nelson since 2008. I’ve been creating and selling my earrings made from authentic Japanese Washi paper at the Nelson Market for more than a decade.

Traveling around the world and exploring different cultures is one of my passions, and immersing myself in different tastes, smells, sounds and colours always inspires my creativity.

Hola, I'm Claudia from Colombia.
I have been living in NZ for 4 years and love my life in Nelson. Making gifts in general and toys for Christmas is something I enjoy a lot. I'm so glad to be part of the opportunities Cultural Conversations provides, particularly to join in the many craft activities.

I hope you find something that speaks to you in my art and thank you for your support.
