Term 1 Art Courses begining from 7th Februrary
Hi everyone,
Our art classes are off and running again for term 1 from the 7th Feb (next week).
Most class times are full and rearing to go. We do still have a few spots left in our Tuesday and Wednesday 3.30 - 5.00 pm classes available.
This term we are looking at still-life, and composition, and learning to look really hard at seeing, not the objects but the large tonal areas, and how light falls upon them. Experimenting with a few different mediums as we go. We will build up to a still-life painting study.
So hope you can join us. We are based in Cockle Bay.
For tweens, teens, and adults.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
