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.
