WINE & WATERCOLOUR EVENINGS

Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery

Mount Ruapehu on one of the glorious days after a southerly has passed through. This is one of the subjects for the July beginner water colour events at Artspace Gallery.
Get a group of workmates or friends together and end your working day on a creative high, learning the joys of watercolour painting with a glass of wine (or two) for inspiration. During the fun filled evening, you'll be guided through painting your own watercolour led by a master teacher in an awesome classroom overlooking the sea. We'll cover the different techniques of watercolours such as painting 'wet in wet', colour mixing and brush control. No previous art experience is required and there's no need to worry about drawing as painting outlines will already be prepared for you so that we can focus on the joys of watercolour painting. These workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style.

Each class is two hours and the cost of $50 which includes all materials. Just turn up empty and leave two hours later with your completed watercolour painting to be proud of and a smile of creative satisfaction on your dial.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
