North Shore Rock Club Workshop
Auckland (North Shore/Glenfield)
What Makes This Session Special
Turning up to the weekly workshop gives rock enthusiasts a regular chance to get hands-on with lapidary and jewellery projects alongside others who share the same interest. Whether you are new to the hobby or already experienced, the sessions focus on practical work with stones, minerals and fossils in a relaxed group setting.
Participants spend time cutting, polishing and shaping rock materials, trying faceting techniques or working on stone carving projects. Some bring their own specimens while others explore silversmithing or simple jewellery making using club equipment. The format suits all ages, from beginners learning basic skills to regulars refining their craft through shared tips and steady practice.
The workshop runs every Tuesday and Saturday morning, creating a consistent rhythm for anyone wanting to build skills over time without needing prior membership. Visitors are welcome to join the open sessions and see how the group operates.
