Mug-making Workshop with R Ceramics

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

In this workshop, Bex from R Ceramics (@r__ceramics) will begin with a full demonstration of how to make a mug using basic pottery hand-building slab techniques. You’ll then go through the process with her support, creating a mug designed and decorated by you. Bex will (carefully) take your creation home. She will bisque fire it, glaze it in your choice of white, clear or black, then do a final firing. Your mug will be ready four weeks later for collection from the Franklin Art Centre.

No need to bring anything but yourself on the day – all materials, aprons, and ideas (if you want them) are provided.
Suitable for ages 10+

Includes clay & firing

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
