Don't miss out on our Term 3 Art Development courses.
Only 6 more sleeps to go until our art classes start again.
So be in quick. Our courses are there for people from absolute beginner to intermediate ability. From ages 9 through to adults.
Our focus is on drawing, painting, and sculpture, as these are great disciplines that inform each other. But you can choose to focus on one of them if you like.
The art development course projects are student and tutor-initiated, which means we follow you and your ideas and exploration and show you techniques along the way. And we also stop the class on occasion to show specific techniques to the whole group.
Classes run after school and on Saturday mornings from - Megan Murphy's home studio, a local artist.
The school has been running since 2007 and we are proud to say we have had students who have stayed with us for up to 5 years.
Check out more details about the courses on - www.vizart.co.nz...
Contact Megan. We would love to see you here.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
