With the help of our fabulous facilitator, Eris, you will be able to select a colour of your choice and draw to your heart’s content all over our collaborative canvases.
Not an artist? That’s okay. Just bring a friend, pick a colour that makes you smile, and let your line do the walking. All materials are supplied, and all ages welcome.

Fast fashion is leading to a mountain of clothing being thrown away each year and has a huge impact on the environment, so can we turn our unwanted garments into something useful?

Open your wardrobe and be honest. How long was it since you last wore some of those clothes? Do you think it might be time for a clear out?
Languishing in the back of cupboards and bottom of drawers are outfits that don’t fit any more, items that have gone out of fashion, or even clothes that have never been worn. In fact, according to research conducted by sociologist Sophie Woodward at the University of Manchester, on average 12% of clothes in the wardrobes of women she studied could be considered “inactive”.
If you were brutal, you’ll probably manage to fill a bin-bag or two with clothes you no longer want or need. But what then?
Around 85% of all textiles thrown away in the US – roughly 13 million tonnes in 2017 – are either dumped into landfill or burned. The average American has been estimated to throw away around 37kg of clothes every year. And globally, an estimated 92 million tonnes of textiles waste is created each year and the equivalent to a rubbish truck full of clothes ends up on landfill sites every second. By 2030, we are expected as a whole to be discarding more than 134 million tonnes of textiles a year.
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling.
“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration,” says Chetna Prajapati, who studies ways of making sustainable textiles at Loughborough University in the UK.
“This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.”
There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water. (Read more about the impact our fashion addiction has on the planet.)
At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.
Globally just 12% of the material used for clothing ends up being recycled.

The Art of Spoon Making, exhibition by Robyn Parkinson, is now open to view, hold, admire and inspire! Celebrate the modesty and minimalism of spoons in all their forms – as delicate still life paintings, wall-mounted assemblages, and of course… as cooking utensils.
Robyn will be at Feilding Art Centre from 4pm to 6pm on Wednesday to speak about this latest exhibition. She’ll even be bringing along a demo spoon to show us how she transforms salvaged wood into ‘scrapers’, ‘stirrers’, ‘eaters’ – why not come along on your way home from work?

Community Risk Manager Kerry O’Keefe shares that several large wildfires have started recently due to strong winds reigniting old fires.
To check these historic fires, residents are asked to dig it up, pour water over it and use the back of your hand to check there is no heat left.
"Check the fire danger and weather forecast. If there is high or extreme fire danger, or it’s hot and windy - please don’t light a fire. In these conditions, it’s too risky that your fire could spread and get out of control," Kerry says.
"Let’s all do our part to prevent a wildfire, and keep our firefighters from attending an avoidable callout."
Before lighting any further fires in the Manawatu-Whanganui area, check the conditions by heading to www.checkitsalright.nz...
