He was born in the Netherlands and learned his craft doing restoration in Amsterdam, learning traditional methods and styles.
Tom has worked in New Zealand since 1982. One day he was asked to do the tiling on the gecko that lies beside Khyber Pass Rd, under the motorway. Since then he has not looked back. Some of his work is traditional, like Mexican bathrooms, but most is entirely unique, while influenced by Friederich Hundertwasser, an unusual and rebellious Austrian artist who also came to live in New Zealand and who designed the famous toilet block in Kawakawa.
Tom's designs are playful, anarchic, and finely detailed with tiles that are hugely variable and often unique, with imperfections from the production process that give them curious colours and textures. 95% of the tiles are created and hand glazed in New Zealand. Included also may be pieces of pottery and stones, all skilfully integrated into free flowing forms, like flowers and koru, and patterns that lead to discoveries of new resonances over time and space each day.
Examples of Tom’s work include bathrooms and kitchens, indoor and outdoor patios and walls, paths, steps, pool areas, arches, barbeques, baths, benches, murals, birdbaths, pillars and other free-standing structures. In my case it was an ensuite, and Tom welcomed my collaboration and help, although mainly in preparation of tiles, rather than design, which I soon learned was best left to the master, after defining the scope and dimensions.
The results are delightful and professional, works of art that can never be repeated. Thank you, Tom for catching that sense of fun and colour and bringing it into my home, to give me a sense of childhood delight each day.

Cheap knock-offs of the All Blacks' Rugby World Cup gear have appeared for sale online – just a week after the striking new look was revealed. New Zealand Rugby and adidas launched the official new jerseys – which feature hand-drawn koru and fern patterns – to much fanfare on July 1. But within a week of the release of the jerseys - which have a RRP of $150 for a looser fit fan's version and $200 for a replica of the actual playing version – cheap knock-offs have appeared for sale online in China. Mufasa Sports is offering versions of both the home (black) and away (white) strips the All Blacks will wear at the upcoming Rugby World Cup in Japan, as well as the side's new blue-coloured training jersey. Prices range from $37 for a single item, down to just $23 a jersey for wholesale lots of 54 or more. There is no shipping charge. Mufasa Sports – which has its base listed as Guangdong, China, did not respond to an approach for comment. While their offerings featured the fern and koru patterns across the jersey, the Rugby World Cup logo on the right chest and the years the All Blacks had won the tournament, they do not feature the silver fern on the left chest. Another Chinese-based seller, Xiaochouya2, was also selling fully-tagged fake All Black Rugby World Cup replicas; with costs ranging from $34 for a single jersey down to $20 for bulk buys of 100 items or more. It, too, did not respond to an approach for comment. And New Zealand Rugby or adidas also did not want to engage over the latest counterfeit offerings based on the popular-selling rugby replicas. But earlier this year both spoke of their frustrations about cheap knock-off gear being sold online. "It's important Kiwis recognise that by buying fake product they're not supporting their favourite team, quite the opposite," adidas' New Zealand country manager Quentin Bleakley told.
"They're impacting the deals that help grow the sport." NZ Rugby's lucrative deal with adidas – first signed in 1999 – is estimated to be worth at least $10 million annually. Bleakley said at the time that adidas was "very familiar" with websites selling cheap All Black-branded fakes. "There's a reason why it's cheap, the quality of the goods is always poor and leaves Kiwis ultimately disappointed." NZ Rugby's chief commercial officer Richard Thomas said: "Sadly it's not a new behaviour to have unscrupulous operators trying to leverage our brand and those of our sponsor products to peddle their fake products." Prior to the investigation earlier this year, adidas' chief executive Kasper Rorsted had gone public that 10 per cent of gear featuring his company's world-famous logo in Asia were most probably rip-offs. That included products being sold both in stores and online. And Canadian lawyer David Lipkus – who has worked with top sports leagues in their crackdown against counterfeit gear – described the fight as like "whack-a-mole". "Every time you take down 10 or 15 sites, another 100 or 200 crop up," he told the TSN Hockey website. Within a week of adidas and NZ Rugby being alerted to various fake products being sold online from $38, the website offering them was taken down. But just as quickly, several others appeared selling the same counterfeit gear but for just $20. In the lead-up to the 2014 football World Cup in Brazil, a staggering seven million fake items - including team shirts - were seized by Chinese customs officials.

She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’
Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.

Hi Neighbours, have you wondered what happened to the excitement of last November when councillors called for a programme of street closures for events? Apparently it's complicated, and the news is not encouraging. Do you think it should it be easier? Read the story below
