Art studio needed

Irena from Hataitai

Kia Ora
I am an artist working in ceramics I have a masters from monash university in fine art. I have had a lovely studio in Shelly bay and recently been informed that we have to move out. I’m looking for a garage with a window or a seperate from house space pref with a lovely view that I can make art in. I am looking at buying a brand new kiln so I can run private classes in ceramics and cast glass. I tutor art around Wellington. My web page is www.irenakennedy.com... and my Instagram is @irenakennedycraft I would wnt to have access for any time I often do studio work at night. my budget is around the 50/60pw mark. Also open to trades. I have had my current studio for 3 years so hoping I can find something just as amazing.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
