Join us for a carving workshop where you’ll reconnect with Pacific history and culture through the sacred art of carving. More than just a creative activity, carving is a form of storytelling and connection—rooted in the traditions of our ancestors.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage your senses and collaborate with others as you create something truly meaningful. You’ll explore the foundations of Pacific carving: how to draw patterns rich in meaning and carve with purpose, weaving stories into every detail.
Led by master carver Jim, who brings over 15 years of experience passed down from his father, this session is a journey into the heart of Pacific artistry. While you won’t become a master carver in one session, you’ll gain a deeper connection to this sacred practice and its cultural significance.
As a special thank you, you’ll leave with your own carving kit, empowering you to continue this meaningful practice at your own pace and in your own time.

When: Thursday 19 & Saturday 21 December
Where: Community Gallery Space Franklin Arts Centre
Time: 10am – 1pm
TERRA FIRMA
Earlier this year Franklin Community Arts funded artist Margaret Feeney to run a workshop looking at what land means to people. Land is home, it is income, it is ancestral right, it is something we control and use, as well as something we love and feel kaitiakitanga towards. How does art tell the story of all these different feelings?
This summer programme at Franklin Arts Centre explores these ideas in further depth across four workstations exploring mark-making and frottage, clay, collage and paint. The workshops are experimental and fun, and everyone’s welcome.
Drop in any time between 10am and 1pm on Thursday 19 or Saturday 21 December to have a go.
We look forward to seeing you there.

An exhibition by Michelle Neale
27 November - 16 December 2024
Moments & Memories’ celebrates and captures those moments and emotions we experience when looking at art. Whether it reminds you of someone, somewhere, or simply makes you feel something; be it joy, love, nostalgia, relaxation, excitement or just peace. Staring at the movement and brush strokes, the viewer is invited to loose themselves in the work and take in whatever is brought to light in that moment and enjoy the experience.
Michelle is passionate about representing or emoting memory through art. Some of the paintings in this series are inspired by wedding bouquets, directly representing the gathered florals in an abstract form with new life and energy.
Opening event: Saturday 30th November 10-12pm
Come and celebrate the opening of ‘Moments & Memories’ with Michelle. Hear directly from the artist about their inspirations and practice.
We look forward to seeing you there.
