Handcarved Stone

I am Marlene Trounson, I live in Greymouth married to Cedric and have a grown family.

In 2014 I completed the Diploma in Jade and Hard Stone Carving at Tai Poutini Polytechnic in Greymouth tutored by Ric Moor and Sheree Warren. I also make jewellery from Freshwater Pearls, Paua and Natural Gemstones.

My passion is carving and I have set up a studio in my home to carve stone concentrating mainly on New Zealand Greenstone, but also using other gem stone material and sterling silver.

I am a member of the NZ Jade Artists Association. .
