Founder Jess Winchcombe is a New Zealand contemporary jeweller who received her jewellery degree from the Whitireia New Zealand Faculty of Art in 2010.

In response to many art and jewellery schools closing throughout New Zealand, Jess has established a creative hub to keep contemporary craft-based learning alive and thriving.

From basic to advanced classes, Studio 42 provides a welcoming hub for anyone with an interest in learning jewellery making.

Studio 42 also hosts guest teachers and welcomes visitors to our Shop and studio, which is open 10 am – 4 pm daily.
