Learn Jewellery Making from a trained 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 and to have fun creating something for yourself or as a gift.
