Video | Rudi Buchanan-Strewe

In preparation for this year's Open Studio Waitākere event, we had the pleasure of visiting the home studios of five exceptionally talented artists, accompanied by a skilled local cameraman. Our journey took us across the Local Board Area, from Titirangi to Karekare.

One of our favourite studios to visit each year is that of Rudi Buchanan-Strewe. Rudi is a sculptor and works with copper, bronze and other metals, inspired by New Zealand native flora and fauna and the age old craftsmanship of the blacksmith.

Meet Rudi in his studio in magical Karekare during Open Studios Waitākere 2024, Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th November, 10am - 4pm.
