Pottery Christmas decorations workshop

Waikato Society of Potters

9 December 6-9pm

Have you put your tree up yet? The festive season is upon us and people are starting to think about injecting some Christmas cheer into our spaces.

Come along to our Christmas decoration making workshop and make some beautiful decorations to add a tasteful touch to your tree, or even make a few decorations to give away as unique gifts.

You don't need any previous clay experience and even absolute beginners will be able to make something gorgeous with Yasmin's guidance. However, this workshop caters to adults and children who are 12 and over who have a vaccine pass

The cost includes 2.5kg of clay which will make a few decorations, as well as use of our underglazes to add a touch of colour. Firing and glazing will cost a few dollars extra depending on how much you make.

Pleases note: My Vaccine Pass is in operation at the studio.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.

But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
