Collage Wax Jewellery Workshop | Make a One-of-a-Kind Pendant or Charm

See a Different Side to Jewellery Making

This isn’t about clean lines or traditional tools. This is about glue sticks, paper scraps, card collages, and turning something playful into something precious.

If you’ve ever wanted to make jewellery but felt put off by polish and perfection… this is your moment.

You’ll collage like a kid again, build your own mould by hand, and drip molten wax into something only you could have made. There’s no experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to play.

This workshop is perfect for creative dabblers, the quietly curious, and anyone who loves the idea of a slow, slightly messy, hands-on afternoon. You’ll walk away with a finished pendant or charm cast in silver or bronze — and a story to go with it.

No pressure. No polish. Just paper scraps, wax, and a bit of magic.

Why This Workshop?

Because perfection is boring.
Because your jewellery should feel like you.
Because chaos is where the good stuff happens.

The rules? There aren’t many.
The pieces? One of a kind.
The result? Yours, completely.

Where we’ll be
The class is held in my home-based jewellery studio in Mt Eden, Auckland. You’ll have your own workspace and access to all tools and materials. Times may vary slightly from the stated duration depending on the flow of the session.
