Ashhurst Weaving Studio: Open Day

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Slow Woven Textile Studio will be open this Sunday, 1st of February, from 10am–4pm.

Come spend some time with me in the studio — learn about weaving, watch a live demonstration, and even make your own handwoven mug rug to take home for free. It takes about 15–20 minutes.

I’ve also created a special weaving display celebrating the work of Esther Nitschke MBE, my dear friend and weaving mentor, who sadly passed away earlier this week. It’s a small tribute to her remarkable legacy and influence on my work. 🧡

Sunday 1st February 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road (off Napier Rd), Ashhurst
Number 84 is at the very end of the road, so wind your way up the hill and you'll see a big orange flag at the very end. That's me. 🙃

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
