The Art of Spoon Making: An Exhibition by Robyn Parkinson
This month at Feilding Art Centre, discover the Art of Spoon Making!
From March 15 through to April 19, Robyn Parkinson showcases the beauty of spoons and the many styles in which they exist.
Exploring the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, each of Robyn's hand-carved spoons are presented to showcase their natural beauty. Some are available to touch, hold, and to feel the imperfections of their natural form. Others are mounted and framed as art pieces, their grooves and bends shown as sculptural forms. These are contrasted again by still life paintings, domestic interiors in which Robyn presents the spoon in its "natural habitat".
Meet the Artist between 4pm and 6pm on Wednesday 16 March. Robyn will be available to answer your questions and provide a carving demo – make sure you come along!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

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?
