Join Areta Wilkinson (Kāi Tahu) in this special hands-on workshop to create your own piece of jewellery using stone-age technologies.
Using copper pieces and river stones from Waikirikiri (Selwyn Rvr), Waimakariri and Rakahuri (Ashley) rivers, Areta will demonstrate the stone hammering method she uses to create her adornments, guiding participants to create their own unique wearable piece to take home.
Describing her stone hammering method, Areta says, “I’m using a tool once utilised by all our ancestors, recording the landscape on metal and creating narratives of place.”
Each session is limited to 10 people, so be sure to book – places will fill fast!
