Why people choose Grounded Art

Handmade Metal Garden Art Designed & Made in NZ

Original metal garden art and sculpture crafted right here in South Otago by Brendon & Jane Harley

Rusty Corten steel, shimmering aluminium, and hand-bent wire - built to be outside, built to last a lifetime.

For 15 years, Brendon and Jane Harley have been designing and hand-crafting one-of-a-kind metal garden art, first from their home in Nelson and now in the beautiful Catlins region of South Otago. Every piece, from slender garden spears and flowing bulrushes to striking Corten steel screens and 3D sculptural pods, is inspired by the natural world around them.

Specialising in weathering Corten steel, shiny aluminium, and hand-formed wire, Grounded Art NZ creates pieces with their own individual character. The Corten develops a rich, protective rust patina over time, the aluminium catches the light as you pass, and the wire work nestles quietly into the landscape.

Whether you're after the perfect NZ Made gift or a way to highlight the beauty of nature, there's something here for every garden, every budget, and every style.

Imagine a piece of Grounded Art NZ in your outdoor space...

No paint, no sealant, no seasonal fuss

SINCE 2011 - NELSON,  NOW SOUTH OTAGO

From Our Workshop to Your Garden

Every piece of Grounded Art NZ begins with two people, a workshop, and a love of the natural world. For 15 years, Brendon and Jane Harley have been shaping metal into garden art that carries the character of the landscape around them, first in Nelson and now in the wild beauty of the Catlins. There's a story behind every spear, screen, and sculptural pod.
