In 2019 Wētā Workshop began work on Amazon’s The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power. For many in the Workshop, this was a welcome return to Middle-earth and it was a pleasure to design and manufacture the weapons for each race in the show under the guidance of Production Designer Ramsey Avery and Weapons Master Joe Dunckley.
We were fortunate enough to design and manufacture some of the named legendary weapons that feature in the books. These weapons were particularly fun to research and visualise because most of them had never been seen on screen before.
