The Fullmer Gallery nestles in the small settlement of Tasman, between Nelson and Motueka on the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island.
Attached to Steve Fullmer’s studio, the gallery features a range of contemporary arts and crafts from well known New Zealand artists, as well as the most comprehensive range of Steve’s work you’ll find anywhere.
You can reach the gallery easily by taking the Tasman exit on the Nelson-Motueka State Highway 60 and turning right into Baldwin Rd when you get to the Tasman Store and Café
But why not enjoy the delights of the Ruby Bay Scenic Route!
Take the Mapua turnoff and drive along the coastal road that hugs the sea and climbs through orchards, olive groves and pastures and past Jester House, an award-winning cafe, until you come to the Tasman Store and Café on your left.
Turn left into Baldwin Road and we’re right there.
Hours: 10am – 4pm daily, but please call ahead if you’re making a special trip.

Hi Gail, no whale cups at the moment sorry. I can’t say if or when he might have some, he is busy with other projects but I haven’t given up hope yet.
Kind regards

Hi there I was looking on the Nelson pottery site and saw the eels. What price are they
Thanks
Steve
Hi I just visited your gallery which had very little for sale as you had sent everything to the Suter gallery. We went there yday – what a fantastic exhibition of your work. I am keen to buy a plate but can’t find any for sale on your website.
Hi Adina, Steve will have some plates next week. If you email fullmer.gallery@xtra.co.nz I can send you photos when we have some.
Many thanks
Robin Fullmer
For many years I have had a ‘set’ of six whale 17cm side plates
Unfortunately due to frequent use, two of these have become quite chipped
Do you have any similar but different plates in stock at the moment
Many thanks
Hi Steve, I’ve had so many years enjoying three of your outdoor works. Thank you for so much joy xx Cath Waiheke
Hi Steve, I’ve just been enjoying seeing your work. It is really great to see the cool things that are coming out of your studio. What the heck was in the water in Baldwin Park that caused so many of us to delve into clay. I still make pottery but on a limited basis and I’m really enjoying the freedom to be creative without the pressure of doing art shows. I hope all is well with you and your family during these crazy times. Jon Burke
