Patience and precision is what s it s taken to move and reconstruct the historically significant beehive kilns created by potter Mirek Smišek.
The delicate project is taking place because the two kilns, located in Te Horo, are in the direct line of the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway construction.
Despite only being moved about 20m to the eastern side where they are being reinstated, each 2.5m high by 2m in diameter kiln has to be carefully removed and reconstructed brick by brick.
