Welcome to the Ashburton Jewellery School!

Inspired by the many requests to run classes, we have launched the Ashburton Jewellery School.

Enjoy making beautiful jewellery in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. There is a 'bring a friend or partner discount’ available for the classes held in Ashburton.

Workshops and classes are for beginners to more advanced. Projects in silver and gold, including rings, bracelets, earrings, silver boxes and more, other workshops available on request and suggestions are welcomed!

The classes are run on the same principles as Expanded Skies jewellery, with eco-friendly processes and ethically sourced materials.
