Twill Felt Flower Workshop at Broadgreen House

Cynthia Greep from NZ Textile Experiences

Sunday 10-4 on 25 February 2024. Tutor Karuna Peralta.

During this one-day workshop you will be using wool blend felt sheets to make small felt flowers in beautiful colours, shapes and sizes.

Participants will be introduced to a variety of techniques to make different flower styles, including a small rose, sunflower, cosmos, daisy, pom-pom bud and leaves.

The workshop involves a mixture of hand cutting, stitching & glueing techniques. Card templates and some pre-cut shapes will also be provided.

Finished flower stems can be tied into a posy for a small vase arrangement. Loose flowers and leaves can be attached to a mini hoop wreath to decorate your home or to a brooch pin backing to wear on your coat, hat or bag.

Workshop is $120
Materials cost is $20 per person.

Complementary tea, coffee & snacks are available at the workshop. Please bring a packed lunch and water bottle. The Stoke shops/cafés are a short drive away if you need to purchase something.

Class size max 10 people. No previous experience necessary, just a willingness and openness to learn and explore.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

Beware of this driver!

Louise from Stoke

Last Friday, outside 51 Barnard St, Wadestown the driver of LAD439, whose name I know and who was witnessed and photographed, reversed into my orange Suzuki Swift, then looked at the damage he'd caused, then left a note with his name and a phone number. I have been to the police, and the number they have for him id different to the one he left me. He is not answering calls to either number. Locals are a bit over this sort of thing happening in this location. if anyone knows this man, initials 'S.A', please let me know or give him a good talking to on my behalf!
