What does land mean to people? It 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? JOIN ARTIST MARGARET FEENEY TO EXPLORE THESE IDEAS IN A ONE-DAY WORKSHOP
WE WILL TUTU WITH PAINT, COLLAGE, AND CLAY TO SHARE IDEAS, KAI, AND TIME TOGETHER IN A CREATIVE ADVENTURE.
We hope to see you there!
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

In this workshop you will have 3 ceramic baubles to paint however you like. Michelle will then add a satin varnish on top to seal them nicely with a uniform finish, and add a ribbon of your choice.
They will then be ready to collect from The Franklin Art Centre approximately a week later.
Bring yourself, grab a coffee on your way in from the cafe conveniently next to the gallery, and come enjoy some Christmasy treats and other festive elements.
Message from Michelle:
I LOVE Christmas! Everything about it. The food, the smells, the crafts, the tree, the traditions, family and friends. So I've created a fun little workshop for us to get into the festive season.
Take some time out for yourself amongst this crazy end of year season, and join me for a fun festive creative morning, painting your very own ceramic baubles.
Looking forward to having you, being creative together, and getting excited about CHRISTMAS !
