Jewellery Classes and Artisan Workshop
Celebrating 20 Years in 2025!
Welcome to our Summer School Programme for January 2026!
We are so excited to offer week-long intensives in Ōtaki Beach, 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.

The focus of this week is to develop student's understanding of how to bring colour into their work, focusing on glass enamels and using different metals and patina. With a whole week to explore there is plenty of time for an exciting adventure in jewellery making.

This Wild Casting Week allows students to experiment with many natural methods of low tech casting, as well as learning fundamentals of soldering, working with stone and shell, and finishing techniques to create wearable, personal jewellery.
