Create your very own ring under the guidance of Ingrid

Learn the art of handcrafted jewellery in a supportive, educational and hands-on environment at Anvil Studios, Pt Chevalier, Auckland.

"I recently completed both the lost wax ring carving and cast-in-place stone setting courses with Ingrid van Heusden, and the entire experience was outstanding.

Ingrid is an exceptionally skilled and effective tutor. She doesn't just show you what to do—she clearly breaks down the why, what, and how behind each technique, giving you genuine confidence in the craft. What sets her workshops apart, though, is the incredible atmosphere she creates. Every session is filled with warmth, inclusion, and plenty of laughter. Being in her studio felt like joining a dedicated, supportive cohort of fellow makers.

Whether you want to explore a new creative outlet or build real jewellery-making skills, I cannot recommend Ingrid and IV Jewellery workshops highly enough!"

“Ingrid's emphasis on creativity. She encouraged us to explore our own designs while being on hand to fix up any mistakes, making the class feel ike a true creative outlet. I am now confidently experimenting on my own thanks to the skills I gained in her.”
What an amazing class! I thoroughly enjoyed my jewellery course with Ingrid, she is such a great teacher. She was very encouraging and positive and helped me to achieve 3 finished rings in 3 weeks. Anyone looking to do an introduction into jewellery making then this is the class. Ingrid helped make the learning process very easy, especially for a beginner like me. I would highly recommend! Thanks again Ingrid!”
