Y-Art Open Studio - Watercolours by Therese
A wonderful, rare opportunity!
I am a local watercolour artist who is passionate about New Zealand birds and landscapes. I paint in my studio at home, which is located at the end of a picturesque cottage garden path. Our garden currently has about 60 dahlias out in flower.
From Sat 20 to Sun 28 January 2024, I am opening my art studio to the public. A small gallery is set up in my studio to display some of the work that I do.
You are most welcome to come along and see some of my work, and find out what has inspired me to paint. Flags will be at the entrance, so just follow the signs to my studio at the end of the garden.
Apart from the paintings, I also create craft pendants and earrings which are also for sale. Eftpos is available and parking is on the street.
Note: More of my artwork is also on display in the Liffey Gallery (Lincoln) from Wed 24 January to Sunday 18 February 2024.
My studio is open to the public:- Sat 20 to Sun 28 January 2024, 10 am – 3 pm.
Location: - 60 Greers Road (close to Memorial Ave), Burnside, Christchurch.

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.
