School Holiday Art Classes + Wine & Watercolour Evenings

Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery

Attending one of the beginner painting or drawing classes at Petone’s seaside gallery could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities youth could do these school holidays. Experienced tutor, Alfred Memelink will teach you in a fun and friendly environment in a wonderful classroom overlooking the sea.

No previous art experience is required - these workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style. No need to worry about drawing as this will already be done to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting in an enjoyable, step-by-step procedure. $25 includes all materials supplied,

Each class is 2 hours, either 10 – 12 morning or 1 - 3 in the afternoon. Drop your youth off at our gallery and while you head off for a coffee at one of the many wonderful Petone Cafes whilst we have some fun with art. Pick them up again two hours later with their completed masterpiece to show you which they'll be so proud of and wearing a smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.

Wine & Watercolour Evenings

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
