On a rare rainy day in Nelson, my partner and I turned a cow bone into unique pieces of wearable art in a few hours. This workshop was one of the highlights of our visit to New Zealand. Stephan was there to guide us through the process, from design ideas to carving and finishing techniques. He explained the significance of the Maori symbols and the tradition of bone carving. And once the final polishing was done, I had a beautiful piece of jewelry. I've had many compliments since returning home, and no one believes I created it myself!
Are you looking for an activity without hiking in NZ? Or something to do during bad weather? Or just something special? Then try the bone carving workshop in Nelson! It is really amazing!! You can design your own carving or pick from a selection of Maori symbols. Draw it on bone, cut it out and then see the stunning process of you turning a piece of bone to a beautiful, unique carving! Stephan patiently explains how to do every single step and helps you through the tricky parts. I'm not sure what I liked best: The process of the carving that was a lot of fun, learning about the traditional Maori background and symbolism, that it was actually me who created the carbing, or just the beautiful, unique result - a really special NZ souvenir! You don't want to miss it, it is worth every cent!
Stephan guided my two teenagers and I through the process of designing and crafting our own special pieces - it was exciting and rewarding, and our resulting pieces are just beautiful. This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and surprise yourself with professional results - only made possible with the guidance of a talented teacher and his contagious enthusiasm. Stephan shares his energy naturally and generously and delivers a great experience. Thanks Stephan, we will be back!
Stephan is a great teacher. You walk away with a real treasure - highly recommend!
