A wonderful experience
加思威尔逊玉器店的点评
点评：We visited Garth’s studio towards the end of our NZ trip, just before returning to Scotland. We had built up an interest and a bit of knowledge of pounamu on our travels but hadn’t found anything that felt right for us.
Sadly, Garth wasn’t there when we visited, but Jo gave us a fantastic insight into the significance of pounamu in Māori culture, and explained how Garth finds the stone, then creates his pieces in the workshop. There was no hard sell at all and we could sense a real integrity in the work. We ended up buying two beautiful porohita (discs) which we each felt a strong connection with. We left feeling incredibly positive about our experience, and delighted that we had finally found two pieces that felt right for us. We knew that the stone was of New Zealand origin (not imported, as so much is in NZ), and that there was an authenticity in the way it was collected and carved. This was importantly to us.
As a bonus, Jo gave us some great tips and insights into what else we should see in the region in the final days of our trip
All in all, it was a wonderful stop off and a great way to round off our trip.

翻译：在新西兰之旅即将结束，即将返回苏格兰之前，我们参观了 Garth 的工作室。在旅行中，我们对 pounamu 产生了兴趣，也了解了一些，但并没有找到适合自己的作品。
遗憾的是，我们参观时 Garth 不在场，但 Jo 向我们详细介绍了 pounamu 在毛利文化中的重要性，并解释了 Garth 如何找到石头，然后在工作室中创作作品。没有任何强行推销，我们可以感受到作品的真正完整性。我们最终买了两个漂亮的 porohita（圆盘），我们每个人都对它们产生了强烈的共鸣。离开时，我们对这次经历感到非常满意，很高兴我们终于找到了两件适合自己的作品。我们知道这块石头产自新西兰（不是进口的，新西兰有很多进口石头），而且它的收集和雕刻方式很真实。这对我们很重要。
作为额外奖励，Jo 还给了我们一些很棒的建议和见解，告诉我们在旅行的最后几天我们还应该去该地区看看什么
总而言之，这是一个很棒的停留点，也是我们旅行圆满结束的绝佳方式。
