Join Kathryn Russell and Thames School of Mines for a fun afternoon making up to four pairs of earrings using beautiful semi-precious stone and crystal beads. Learn the art of drop earrings, and master the wire techniques needed to connect different shapes and sizes of beads together.
Ticket price includes four sets of earring findings, with beads available for purchase from the Rock Shop on the day.
Sorry! This workshop is available for 15 years and up only. Keep an eye out for all ages workshops hosted at Thames School of Mines in the very near future.
Masks are mandatory at Thames School of Mines in level 2. If you have an exemption, we will need to see it on the day.

Organizer of Earring Workshop
Thames School of Mines is proudly cared for by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.
Located in Thames, Coromandel we offer guided tours of the school of mines.
Step into the school to get a vivid sense of how practical science and technology was taught in our pioneering past. You’ll see authentic period equipment and classic gold rush machinery, classrooms, labs, microscopes and maps of the gold fields, a model of a whole stamper battery system and an actual small-scale stamper battery, mining documents and historic photos. The original furnace room, where gold was laboriously extracted and then assayed, is well worth a look.
