Open: Slow Woven weaving studio in Ashhurst

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Slow Woven Textile Studio will be open for the Art Trail Manawatu from 10am - 4pm over the weekend of the 18th and 19th of October.

Natasha Christensen of Slow Woven Textile Studio is weaver and fibre artist who is inspired by the beautiful native plant life of Aotearoa. Her work celebrates the slow nature of weaving, the patience and mindfulness required, and the true beauty of a unique hand-crafted textile.

Natasha shares a studio with her father, rural artist Graham Christensen, in Ashhurst so it’s a great opportunity to visit, see demonstrations and enjoy the work of both artists. You are welcome to visit as part of the Art Trail or independently during these dates.

Address: 84 Glenburn Road (off Napier Rd), Ashhurst.
18th and 19th of October, 10am - 4pm each day.
