In this workshop you will have 3 ceramic baubles to paint however you like. Michelle will then add a satin varnish on top to seal them nicely with a uniform finish, and add a ribbon of your choice.
They will then be ready to collect from The Franklin Art Centre approximately a week later.
Bring yourself, grab a coffee on your way in from the cafe conveniently next to the gallery, and come enjoy some Christmasy treats and other festive elements.
Message from Michelle:
I LOVE Christmas! Everything about it. The food, the smells, the crafts, the tree, the traditions, family and friends. So I've created a fun little workshop for us to get into the festive season.
Take some time out for yourself amongst this crazy end of year season, and join me for a fun festive creative morning, painting your very own ceramic baubles.
Looking forward to having you, being creative together, and getting excited about CHRISTMAS !

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
