We’re taking some big steps this year, with both our Wellington and Ōtaki studios relocating!

These new workshops give us the opportunity to refine how we teach, improve the flow of our classes, and create even better working environments at the bench. Same ethos, same hands-on learning - just in a new place!
As we step into new spaces, we’re bringing fresh ideas, renewed energy, and an even stronger focus on creating welcoming, inspiring environments for you to learn and make in. It’s the start of a new chapter for our studio community, and we’re so looking forward to sharing it with you.
Ōtaki - we are moving very soon to a big space in the heart of Ōtaki township, keep an eye out for an opening celebration!
Wellington - all of Toi Poneke is moving down to the waterfront in mid June, and we can't wait to show you our incredible new workshop. We have space for more resident bench renters, plus super cool exhibition spaces. Email us for more info.

Need more encouragement to join us for a class? Here's what students are saying on Google Reviews:
"I had the BEST time at a ring making workshop with Annie yesterday. I really wanted to challenge myself by doing something different, as I'm not typically very confident with hands-on crafts. Annie was such a brilliant tutor, patient, kind, funny, and made the afternoon a great experience for everyone. I'm already excited to think about what I want to do next with Workspace!"
