What you'll do

We will have lunch together and continue creating. It is a hands-on day, full of learning, laughing and making something exceptional to take away.

Where you'll be
The workshop space is in at my lovely home studio in Arthur's Point, just 6km from central Queenstown near the Shotover River.
Rated 4.99 out of 5 from 92 reviews.
My husband and I signed up for this experience and it exceeded expectations. We felt super welcomed when we first arrived and throughout the entire experience. Jessica really is an expert and professional at what she does!
My husband had a great time operating the tools (there were so many), and we both enjoyed crafting something. Jessica gave us plenty of space to explore on our own (my husband’s style) but would step in if we wanted it for pointers (more my style). She prepared an amazing lunch and her studio is a very cool space.
I can’t recommend this experience enough, and would do it again if I could! I left with a beautiful bracelet and several rings.

Jessica provided an amazing full-day experience complete with personalized instruction, coffee throughout the day, a food-lovers lunch, ample and varied materials for jewelry-making, and a warm friendly atmosphere. Both my partner and I left with beautiful pieces of jewelry neither of us could have made without Jessica’s expert instruction. At the same time, she gave us full rein to express our creativity and own the process every step of the way. This is a must-do experience in Queenstown.

Thank you so much for a lovely day at your place. I had a great time designing and making my piece. I am so happy with what I produced thanks to Jess helping me. Lunch was great as well. I got to meet Jess’s husband and also his parents from Ireland which was a bonus. And of course lovely Indy their dog. The piece I made represents my holiday in NZ and I will treasure it. I recommend this experience to anyone visiting Queenstown.
