Self Reflection Workshop
Self Reflection Workshop with Robbi Carvalho
Saturday 23 March, 10am - 1pm
Franklin Arts Centre
Places are limited. Booking is essential. Book via Eventfinda: www.eventfinda.co.nz...
Embark on a creative journey with us to craft self-portraits that celebrate the diversity and beauty of women! Using acrylic paint and gold leaf on mini wooden panels (20x20cm), women participants of all skill levels are invited to join.
This workshop is designed to emphasize the joy of painting, self-expression, and creativity. No previous experience is required. Our goal is not to produce typical selfie-portraits but rather to create unique representations, capturing the distinctive stories of each woman.
These mini-panels will become part of a larger composition featuring 40 self-portraits, showcased in the upcoming exhibition 'Wildeye: A Female Gaze into Nature' by the artist Robbi Carvalho. The exhibition will take place at the Franklin Arts Center from 13 April to 25 May. Rest assured, after the exhibition, each participant will receive their mini-panel."

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
