The Bench | School for Jewellery is a place for everyone: whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned maker, The Bench invites you to come together to learn, be inspired and make jewellery. Whether it be your first ring or you are building on existing skills, we are thrilled to share our relaxed and fun workshop environment with you and other makers from the Whakatū Nelson community and beyond. The Bench was founded by contemporary jeweller Kay van Dyk and is grounded in her passion for teaching, creating and inspiring others to make.
