Jay Lloyd moved to Waiheke Island in 2010 where he established his new studio and foundry, focussing on capturing the warmth and beauty of bronze for everyone to enjoy.

The essence of nature around us can be expressed with simple clean lines and movement. Jay tries to capture this essence, to evoke memories, without the complication of unnecessary detail.

Bronze has for centuries been revered for its unparalleled qualities by sculptors. Jay takes pride in the hand craft nature of what he does and has been on this journey for more than 30 years. He does a variety of work from jewellery to sculpture and his work is exhibited throughout New Zealand and is held in private collections in New Zealand, America, Europe and Asia. Jay qualified as an industrial designer the 1980’s but feels fortunate that his work has allowed him to follow a different path.
