School Holidays at Feilding Art Centre

The Feilding & District Art Society

It’s set to be a rainy, grey school holiday break. Luckily, Feilding Art Centre is offering plenty of opportunities to have fun and learn new skills over the next two weeks.

Tomorrow, come along to Colour and Collage: Kids aged 8-12 will work with artist and printmaker Katie Russell to make a mixed media artwork.

Friday July 15: The teens and adults among us can learn to make Leaf and Feather-inspired earrings with Rholene Singleton.

Tuesday July 19: Bee Creative will show your 8-12 year-olds how to make a mask inspired by the Day of the Dead Festival.

Wednesday July 20: Bee Creative returns to make felt toys with kids aged 8-12.

And of course, there’s always our ever-changing schedule of exhibitions taking place in our downstairs gallery!

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!
