With Mia Straka & Jessica Winchcombe

As part of their residency COLLIDER at Project 100, Nelson.

Saturday 21 November | 10 am–1 pm

$150 per person

Ever wondered what treasures might be hiding on another jeweller’s workbench?

Join Mia Straka and Jessica Winchcombe for a playful, experimental workshop exploring the materials, ideas and creative possibilities found in the studios of New Zealand contemporary jewellers.

Each participant will receive a mystery bag filled with materials gathered from the workbenches of contemporary jewellers across Aotearoa. Over a cuppa, we'll introduce the makers, look at examples of their work and share a little about their individual practices.

Then comes the fun part — opening the bags!

We'll explore, swap ideas, experiment and see where the materials take us, responding to the experimental spirit of COLLIDER. This isn't about creating a finished masterpiece or getting things right. It's about curiosity, taking creative risks, getting your hands busy and finding yourself in the flow alongside other creatives.

There will be plenty of conversation, creative play and an opportunity to hear more about Mia and Jess's COLLIDER residency and the ideas unfolding along the way.

Can't make the workshop?

We'll have additional Mystery Bags available to purchase, so you can take one home and enjoy your own creative adventure in your own time. $80

Come curious, bring an open mind and see what mysteries unfold!
