Stackhouse Knives

Best day EVER!I drove over from kapiti to do this workshop. Honestly, if you are further away, its worth the trip!Shea was an amazing teacher. I wasn't terribly confident that my body could handle the hammering of the steel. He was really gentle and supportive with me and my friend. He helped just enough to make the end result awesome, but not so much that i felt like I hadn't made my piece myself.We learnt all sorts of new skills and were both very happy with the results.There is the creative freedom to make something unique if you wish.They have tiny little forges that somehow made the process less intimidating. I came away with a very cool wand. I will be back for another workshop soon..... a knife or the wood wands.... such decisions!Parking is easy.Stackhouse knives is a real asset to Wellington. This is exactly the type of kiwi experience we need to support!All in all a very empowering experience.

I can't recommend a workshop here any more highly! The team are wonderful, super into it, and helpful. I did the don't be petty" workshop with some friends from work and the day was brilliant! Just go for it!"

Super fun time making a chefs knife, friendly, encouraging and loads of knowledge and experience. I'd recommend to anyone.

We did the knife making course last night. It was awesome!! Shea was an awesome instructor, with a contagious passion for his craft. He stayed after the course just to share a lot more knowledge and show us some of the amazing knives he’s been doing. I totally recommend this place and this course!

A great way to spend 4 hours on a basic ring making course. Helpful, friendly, competent staff. You end up with a nice silver ring.Staff will help if you get stuck.

Did the 1 day beginners knife course. Lena, Shea and the team were absolutely awesome. I had no real experience in blacksmithing but they were fun, approachable and really invested in making sure we got to give the whole process a go and came out of it with a beautiful little blade. Really fantastic workshop.

Did the petty knife course with my 15 year old son, it was his birthday present. It was an amazing day, we both had so much fun and ended up with cool knives! Great instructors, awesome time. Highly recommend.

My partner and I spent the weekend at Stackhouse knives doing their chefs knife/cleaver class. We had an absolute blast, and can't wait to come back and try something else. The tutors were excellent and we both walked out exhausted but with an amazing, unique knife we had made ourselves. Absolutely recommended for a fun and creative weekend.

Loved the axe making so much we came back to make knives and it was just as enjoyable.Fantastic team who help guide you through the day while leaving you the freedom to experience and learn yourself. The passion for their craft is evident and their ability to help you develop your own ideas really take the courses to the next level.I highly recommend just booking the course you are thinking about, you won’t regret it.
