Half-day  workshop with Jacky Morren

This unique Kiwi experience allows you to work with beautiful “pounamu” (NZ greenstone or jade) and create your own piece of jewellery. You will be stunned at what you can do in half a day! A passionate and professional carver, Jacky  offers you a beautiful selection of genuine New Zealand jade to choose from – or you can even bring your very own stone found in a riverbed or at the beach! Walk away with your unique creation of a pendant, ring or bracelet and feel the thrill of working with a material that has been part of New Zealand culture for a very long time. No previous skills are required. Just bring your enthusiasm!

About the tutor
Jacky Morren was introduced to the precious stone “pounamu” as she first set foot in New Zealand. Six years ago, her passion for working with jade lead her  to train as a professional jade carver, a step that she has never regretted. She exhibits regularly and enjoys working for individual commissions as well.  Jacky loves to share her time and skills with others.
