Welcome to our Summer School Programme!

We are so excited to offer week-long intensives in Ōtaki, Pōneke | Wellington and Ōtautahi | Christchurch. 

Our summer school intensives are carefully curated to offer participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative process. Whether the week is a chance for makers to boost their technical skills and advance their professional practice, or a much-needed time for creative refuelling and refreshing for the year of mahi ahead, these classes are not to be missed. 

Working alongside expert tutors with small class numbers and two tutors for fuller classes, the experience allows students to build meaningful connections with peers, as well as get that all-important time at the bench on consecutive days to really cement your creative learning. 

Take advantage of our early bird booking price to get the best price!

If you would like to spread the payment over time, we have Afterpay available at checkout (pay fortnightly, split into 4 payments) or we are able to offer our own payment plans for monthly or weekly payments spread over longer term.

Booking will be available shortly!

 

Email us to enquire about the payment plan available to you. 

Summer School 2027

Brooch layered

With Annie Collins.

The focus of this week is to deepen student's understanding of soldering, and how to create complex constructions in metal. We will look at boxes, hinges, clasps and layering of metals. Beginners are welcome, but basic soldering skills would be a huge advantage.
