Creative workshop
At Wētā Workshop, sculpting characters, creatures and environments is at the very heart of our craft - the sculpting room is where some of cinema’s most iconic creations are born. In this 90-minute workshop, our crew will guide you through the fundamentals of sculpting as you experiment with different clays, explore texturing techniques using professional-grade Monster Clay and bring a three-dimensional character to life with Plastilina.
Work with the same artisan-level tools our artists use in the Workshop and learn the skills to transform everyday household materials into sculptures of your own. Then take your magic home!
Designed for small groups, the workshop offers an intimate, hands-on experience with plenty of one-on-one guidance from our crew.
No creative experience necessary.
"The Workshop was just run so well. Great fun for everyone.
My grandsons 12 and 14 really enjoyed the experience - they would like to do more!"
