Pottery Christmas decorations workshop

Waikato Society of Potters

9 December 6-9pm

Have you put your tree up yet? The festive season is upon us and people are starting to think about injecting some Christmas cheer into our spaces.

Come along to our Christmas decoration making workshop and make some beautiful decorations to add a tasteful touch to your tree, or even make a few decorations to give away as unique gifts.

You don't need any previous clay experience and even absolute beginners will be able to make something gorgeous with Yasmin's guidance. However, this workshop caters to adults and children who are 12 and over who have a vaccine pass

The cost includes 2.5kg of clay which will make a few decorations, as well as use of our underglazes to add a touch of colour. Firing and glazing will cost a few dollars extra depending on how much you make.

Pleases note: My Vaccine Pass is in operation at the studio.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
