Jewellery Classes and Artisan Workshop
Pōneke Jewellery Residencies
Made possible by Workspace Studios in partnership with Toi Pōneke Arts Centre.
We are thrilled to announce applications are now open for two new residencies in our Pōneke | Wellington jewellery workshops for 2024 - 2025.
Calling all self starters - motivated, hard working, creative thinkers.
Could you be one of the future leaders of Aotearoa's arts landscape?
These residencies seek to foster community-minded makers who are passionate about creating opportunities for the arts community around them.
Both residency packages offer bench space at Workspace Studios in Toi Pōneke, access to tools and specialist equipment, mentoring and classes. Each residency will culminate in an exhibition, at Toi Pōneke Gallery (Kapeu) and Mason & Collins Gallery (Tipua).
Applications for both open on 15 October and close on 15 November, 2024.
Tipua Residency
Awarded to a promising emerging jeweller, this residency provides resources and support, allowing them to focus on developing their craft at a critical career point. This residency is designed to assist early-career makers to lay a solid foundation of skills and peer connection leading to sustainable arts practise.
This can be a 6 or a 12 month residency depending on the level of rental support.
Ideal for a maker who is making their first serious steps after foundational learning.
Kapeu Residency
The Kapeu residency will be awarded to a jewellery maker who already shows considerable dedication and commitment to growing their professional practice, and is ready to advance their work to the next level.
This residency is an opportunity for them to boost their professional journey, and also foster a vibrant connection within the jewellery community. This program is designed to support jewellers in building resilient and sustainable practices, that can thrive in the long term.
This is a 12 month residency in the professional Workspace2 studio.
This is suited to a developing professional, in artisan or arts-based jewellery making.
