Bring Back the Blue Shed on Petone Wharf - Youth Watercolour Workshop
Do you miss the blue shed on Petone Wharf too? here's your chance to bring it back (with a little artistic license). Petone Wharf with the iconic blue shed, is the subject for the next watercolours for youth art class at Petone's Artspace Gallery.
No previous experience required and the drawing will already be done for you to enable us to focus on the joys of painting. We’ll start by painting the sky and applying free watercolour washes 'wet into wet' to create some soft edged clouds and then other watercolour techniques for the rest of the painting.
$25 includes all materials. just turn up empty handed and leave two hours later with your own completed watercolour painting and a beaming smile of creative satisfaction. (generously sponsored by Watercolour New Zealand, supporting youth into watercolours)
Saturday afternoon 1st June 1 - 3pm
Suitable for ages 7 - 17

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
