Art Workshop in Waikanae
I have two places left in a short course I'm running from my Waikanae art studio which will introduce you to gold leafing techniques and a range of iridescent and interference paints. If you love a bit of bling and are inspired by the art of Gustav Klimt, these two weekends in Sept/Oct might be just for you. You don't have to have art experience as this is a highly structured and guided course. It's also great for experienced artists as there will be a lot of potential for creativity in developing a work. You bring two gel pens and I'll provide you with all the other materials you'll need to leave the course with an impressive art work.

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!
