Handicraft school

Fantastic experience, purchased this day course for my partner and his two friends for their Christmas presents. They had such an incredible time, learnt so much and they each love the knife they made! They spoke so highly of Bruce and his way of teaching, and throughly enjoyed the lunch Anne provided. Thank you so much for creating such a memorable day.

Such an amazing experience. The small class sizes allow for 1:1 tutoring without impacting the runtime. Allowing you to create the perfect knife for you. The lunch spread was also amazing with fresh breads, cheese and spreads. 10/10 an awesome experience that I'll always remember.

What a fun experience! From the moment you arrive you feel welcome in the lush greenery are greeted by a friendly face. You get straight into it and can pick your design that you want to make. Bruce is very knowledgeable about knives and will teach you many things throughout the day. It is an incredibly fun and rewarding experience to make your own knife that you know will be with you forever if you treat it right. Bruce is very helpful if you need assistance and will let you experiment and learn about the process of knife making, and will only demonstrate or work on your knife for you if you ask or need it. He is a very friendly man and his wife Anne puts on a delicious lunch! I have come out of the course wanting to pickup the art of knife making. Just need to get some tools! I can only recommend this course if you are into knives/tinkering, if it were possible to give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Bruce and Anne for the great day. -Blake

A fantastic day. Fascinating. We all went home with really cool little knives. I will treasure mine for years and years. Delicious lunch. Highly recommended.

Great shop for all paper crafts. Fab range of products, classes and super helpful staff. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience! Bruce, Anne and Alex were excellent hosts. The knife making was fun, hard enough to keep on your toes and we learnt so much along the way! Bruce made sure to correct all the mistakes and blemishes that we caused! And we ended up with amazing knives to go home with. Great lunch too! Would go back again!

Aladdin's cave. I haven't been to Frankton for a couple of years and was amazed at contents of Paper zone. If you are into paper crafting there is fabulous choice and beautiful papers.

Awesome day start to finish, came away with a knife that far exceedmy expectations. Great advice, techniques and guidance the whole way through to make sure you get a knife you can be proud of. The lunch and afternoon tea was also top notch!

Love paperzone! If your in Hamilton come and check it out whether your into crafts or not! Probably the best craft store I have found in the North Island there's something for everyone and the staff are so super friendly and knowledgeable

Well stocked papercraft shop in Frankton Village. Friendly staff, plenty of the stuff you need. I'll be back!
