Come explore the language mechanisms behind word formation and learn how to express yourself creatively through building your own, exclusive and unique words that anyone will understand. Learn about the fascinating field of etymology; how the seeds of words travel through time and different languages, creating strings of meaning that reveal how we think and see the world.

This workshop is both in-person and live-streamed via Zoom.

Hi all, I know that there are many people who are undertaking renovations and my call out is to them, or to anyone who knows anyone who is renovating.
Please, please if you are removing wooden french doors, please give me a ring. I am desperate for a pair but refuse to pay the huge prices that the Demolition Warehouse charge. Often these have been given to them and unfortunately they are, by far, the ones that are mainly selling them on Trademe.
Obviously I am willing to pay for the doors.
My phone number is 0275556214 Txt or phone anytime.
Many thanks

I was spiraling out of control

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.

Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager). I'm not sure how this all came about, but it was around the time I started getting interested in boys and my body was changing. I would stare at myself in the mirror and think I was fat.

Recycled polyester

The technical advancement of recycled yarn production has led to textiles which are not only more environmentally friendly, but emulate the soft handle of … View moreAlong our journey to creating a more sustainable future, our studios are working to incorporate innovative textiles into our product offering. The technical advancement of recycled yarn production has led to textiles which are not only more environmentally friendly, but emulate the soft handle of virgin fibres. In this article we explain the process of transforming post-consumer plastic bottles into recycled polyester yarn, through an investigation into the production of our first recycled product Kumo Recycled by James Dunlop.

Woven in 92% recycled polyester and 8% polyester yarn, Kumo Recycled presents a modern perspective on fibre construction. Available in 15 decorative shades, Kumo Recycled is suitable for those seeking a high-performance wide width sheer that is fire retardant and has a weighted selvedge in both residential and commercial applications, elegantly framing the view in any setting.

THE RECYCLING PROCESS:
At the recycling facility, post-consumer PET bottles are magnetically sorted by a metal detector and the labels are washed off with water in a revolving cylinder called a Tromel. The clean PET bottles are then sorted into types and colours by a near infrared ray and spectrum camera before being shredded into flakes underwater.

Separation occurs as lighter plastics float to the tank’s surface. The flakes are dried in a tumbler, then rinsed with sodium hydroxide, dried, rinsed in water, and dried once more. Residual contaminants and metals are then blown out and the flakes are shredded into smaller flakes, ready to be used to produce a liquid polymer (resin).
