Painting Classes
I am starting a beginners class on weds 8th June at 10am.
The classes run for 3 hours every Wednesday Only 11 spots available. There is no need to sign up for a term, however if you miss a class you will have to catch up on your next attendance.
You will be learning the basics of colour mixing, using the colour wheel. Mixing paint, applying paint, basic drawing skills, blending paint and finally creating your own piece of art.
If you can already paint, feel free to join the class while you get on with painting your own piece. I will be there to give you help and advice along the way.
The cost is $35 per lesson, but only $25 if you provide your own acrylics and canvas.
If you would like to secure your spot I do require a $10 deposit. I will send you my bank account details if you would like to join up. Simply message me through my business FB page at artcsimpson.
Thank you
Cheryl

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
