Art Class
ou asked for it and we have created an evening community art class with the lovely Tarci. Starting with an introduction of 4 weeks and a full class beginning in May.
This art class will give you the opportunity to explore different materials and techniques such as graphite's, pencils, pastels, brushes, collage, crayons, mixed media... Find what fascinates you most and sparkle your creativity!
You will have guidance and support all the way, while searching for inspiration, developing your skills and finalizing your art pieces."
☆☆☆ The intro classes will be to touch and experiment the materials talk a bit about inspiration and artists plus simple but pleasant art exercises.
☆☆☆In May we will be a little more "intense" in the exploration of techniques and materials, also possible combinations between them.
New subjects/themes will be offered for each class and/or every other class.
No rush, no right or wrong. Freedom to the inner artist!
$100.00 for 4 weeks introduction - includes all materials.
Numbers will be limited so please register at admin@highburyhouse.org.nz
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.8% ... It is complicated
