Kāpiti Coast: Textured Earrings and Pendants on Ōtaki Beach

A quick taster class that’s ideal as a festive outing for friends, or as a treat for you! In three short hours, learn to craft an amazing pair of textured metal earrings - from scratch!

Over this taster class, you’ll be guided through the process of heating and texturing metal, cutting and shaping with traditional jewellery tools. After completing this class, you will have one pair of beautiful earrings to wear away or gift to someone special!

You will practice on smaller texture samples to work out what texture and what metal you want to go with, and then move on to creating your earrings in warm copper, yellow brass and sterling silver - with solid sterling silver earring hooks or posts.

Your class materials pack includes everything you need for the class to make a super cool pair of beautiful earrings. You are welcome to purchase extra materials for larger pieces at the studio.

We use quality pre-made sterling silver earring wires, or earring posts with silicone stud backs for these taster classes so that you can focus on making the main part of the earrings and know that your findings will be just perfect.

Kids aged 12 (or so) are welcome to attend the class, but an enrolled parent or caregiver must accompany anyone under the age of 16.
