Opening Next Week: Brilliant Colour by Katie Russell

The Feilding & District Art Society

From June 21 through to July 20, Katie Russell presents Brilliant Colour. Through the medium of relief printmaking, Brilliant Colour celebrates the vibrancy and joy of gardening. Growing plants, whether it be an indoor jungle or a frilly flowerbed, is a mindful experience that removes us from the stress of our busy lives. Katie translates that experience into brightly coloured, patterned woodcuts and linocuts.

Celebrate Brilliant Colour by joining us for a Meet and Make Session with Katie from 4-6pm on June 29. In this drop-in session, you can have a go at making your own print inspired by the exhibition! All materials, plus light refreshments, will be provided. Koha entry.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
