From The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit to Avatar learn about specific props, costumes, and creatures that were created for your favorite films, and treat yourself to something very unique and special.
A fusion of old skills with new technology. When the cast of The Lord of the Rings faced off against legions of orcs, their foes were digitally created, yet the weapons, costumes, and armor they wore were often hand-crafted and forged using traditional techniques.
It is this marriage of modern technological skill with traditional prop-making art and craft that has produced the results that skyrocketed Wētā to global fame.
Co-founded almost 30 years ago in 1987 by Sir Richard Taylor, Wētā Workshop is at the center of Wellington's status as an artistic hub of New Zealand, drawing the cream of the crop of artists from around New Zealand and the world to work together creating movie magic that defies belief, enjoy.
