Teaching Hand Crafts.
Lost Arts exists as a place for people who want to rediscover how to make things by hand, to get pleasure daily from using something they have crafted themselves.
Bruce, a Clevedon local of over 20 years has been making knives since he was a kid. First of all with an old lawnmower blade and now with high quality 1084 steel in a fully set up workshop based in Clevedon, South of Auckland.
Bruce decided to follow his passion for knife making by running workshops and creating an experience around sharing an ancient skill.
“Making a tool to use in our daily life is what we evolved to do, we’ve been doing it for 3 million years.”
“The skills are simple, the materials readily available, so let’s give people the experience of using their own hands to craft a tool they will really appreciate.”
We are starting with knife making courses but keep in touch as we will be adding more in the future!
