creative workshop
Designed for kids who love to craft, this engaging workshop introduces the art of working with leather.
Children will learn simple techniques employed by Wētā Workshop's costume crew as you refine, design and dye your very own leather keepsake.
For over 20 years, Wētā Workshop has crafted beautiful leatherwork for the big screen. Having kitted out countless armies with chainmaille and leather-adorned costumes, our crew have brought to life many films, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia and more.
We invite young makers to step into the world of handcrafted costume design and discover the art of leatherwork in our hands-on workshop. Craft side-by-side with our crew learning techniques that bring costume accessories to life on screen.
With easy-to-follow techniques and all materials provided, children will get to explore their creativity while learning real leatherwork skills - and then take their creation home.
No experience needed, just imagination and a willingness to get hands-on!
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Parents and guardians are FREE.
"I loved the experience and had great fun. Our instructor was amazing to work with, always helping and figuring out how to work with our ideas.
Thank you for the experience."
