Welcome to Lost Arts Knife Making School.

 

Who are we.

Lost Arts are a craft school who run courses designed to get people on the tools and teach them hand crafts. We love getting people out into the workshop and helping them step away from normal life for a day while they create something with their own hands.

The Courses.

We currently offer a 1-Day knife making course designed for beginners and experts alike. This course is limited to 5 people, so each person gets plenty of 1-on-1 time with Bruce. This course is perfect for dads, mums, brothers, sisters, team building, corporates and anyone who wants to learn something different! Feel free to email us if you have any questions.

Location.

Our workshop is based out in Ness Valley Clevedon, out in the countryside south of Auckland. Only 45 minutes drive from the centre of the city, Clevedon is known for its popular Farmers Market and Artisan culture.
