Metalbird x Wētā Workshop

For seven and a half years, Wētā Workshop poured its heart and soul into crafting over 48,000 props, weapons, costumes, creatures, prosthetics, and environments for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, helping to transport audiences to the enchanting world of Middle-earth. Since then, their journey hasn't stopped. They’ve remained dedicated to exploring the realms of creativity, making, learning, solving, and inspiring across various artistic mediums.

And that journey continues with fellow New Zealand art enthusiasts, Metalbird, who bring their signature steel bird silhouettes to life in gardens across the world. Together, these two creative forces celebrate the spirit of innovation and artistry that defines New Zealand.

Join us in celebrating the fusion of worlds, where craftsmanship meets creativity, and humble beginnings lead to epic tales.
