Learn Jewellery Making from a Professional Goldsmith
Welcome to my jewellery workshops — a space where creativity meets craftsmanship. I'm a qualified goldsmith with a traditional apprenticeship, currently working full-time in jewellery design and repair at a studio in Taranaki. With years of hands-on experience at the bench, I’m here to share the skills and techniques I use every day in my professional practice.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to build confidence with tools and materials, I’ll guide you through each step in a relaxed, well-equipped studio. These workshops are about more than just making something beautiful — they're about learning real skills you can build on, with support from someone who truly works in the trade.

Unleash your creativity and learn the traditional technique of sand casting. In this 4 week course you will be joining me for 2hrs each session. The first session will be to collect your ideas, talk you through the process and finding the best design solution for your ideas. You can always send me a message prior with some photos. We can then carve your design from wax, prepare your sand casting mould and pour some molten metals. Cost for larger than 4g of sterling silver designs will be charged with an additional $9/g at the end of the class. If you have some old sterling silver, bring it along to the first meeting.
Adults only
Location: At Ringcraft Moana studio in Oakura, 109 Surrey Hill road.
