Heroes and Villains Sculpting Workshop
First, sculpt your own pocket-sized masterpiece
Ready to cause some chaos or save the day? Join the creative fun in our Heroes and Villains Sculpting Workshop. Whether you’re plotting a baddie or powering up a hero, here’s where your story begins...
Ever wondered how filmmakers make a hero look heroic or a bad guy look sneaky, without saying a single word? The secret is in the shapes. Learn how triangles, circles and squares can reveal a character’s personality in this 60-minute workshop for beginners.
Your origin story – start with the basics of sculpting, build your character from the inside out with simple tinfoil and plasticine.
Superpowers of shape – discover how simple shapes and proportions (pointy triangles, round circles, strong squares) can reveal who’s sneaky, brave, silly or strong
The finishing move – add secret touches that help bring your character to life
Take home your unique creation!
By the end, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind sculpture full of personality, ready to proudly display at home.
No experience needed, just imagination and a willingness to get hands-on!
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Parents and guardians are FREE.

Our tours and creative workshops depart from Wētā Workshop Unleashed
Level 5, 88 Federal Street, Auckland
Opposite the Sky Tower.
For public transport options, please visit the Auckland Transport website.
The eternal question for intergalactic travellers! While we currently don’t offer dedicated spacecraft parking, we do have plenty of terrestrial car parking options at SkyCity. If your craft is taller than 2.1 metres or has a cloaking device, we recommend teleporting down.
We also offer SkyCity parking validation for anyone who purchases a tour, creative workshop or spends over $49 on retail in the Wētā Cave. Validation will reduce the hourly rate of parking.
Happy landing!
Please arrive 10 minutes before your tour and creative workshop starts. You can check in at the Wētā Cave ticketing desk.
Yes! Photography is welcomed at Wētā Workshop Unleashed. There’s also the opportunity to receive a free video within the tour space, so you’ll be able to take home a fun memory of your experience.
Yes, there is a short break before you begin your workshop.
Our tours are currently offered in English and Mandarin, with translated tours also available on our app in French, German and Japanese. Download the app in store on arrival or ask our team for assistance.
As for Klingon, Elvish, or Na'vi—we're working on it. Stay tuned for future updates as we aim to cater to speakers from every realm.
Absolutely! Though just a heads up–some of our experience is horror themed and parental guidance is advised for younger children. Guests have the option to skip the 'horror house' within our horror workshop if they wish.
Some
materials used throughout our tour and workshops may trigger allergic reactions in some
guests. These materials include latex, silicone and foam. Please email us if
you have any questions.
Yes, we have rentable lockers available for you to store any medium to large sized bags, including suitcases, starting from $4. You can store your luggage up to 24 hours.
We get it—once you step into our world, it’s hard to leave. While we’d love to offer permanent residency in our castles and spacecrafts, local zoning laws and our resident creatures make it tricky.
Why not take a piece of the magic home instead? Visit the Wētā Cave for souvenirs to transform your home.
