Acrylic Pouring Workshop 4 Kids (8 years+)
Friday, 14th April, 1.30pm to 2.30pm at the Riverside Community Centre in Lower Moutere.
School Holiday Workshop for Kids (8 years +)!
Learn about Acrylic Pouring as a fascinating fluid painting technique. Depending on the technique, different effects are created.
No previous drawing or painting skills is required.
Each participant will go home with their own one-of-a-kind piece of art. Please keep in mind that we will be working with acrylic paints that, in most cases, do not wash out of clothes.
Limited to 12 participants 5 years and older. $10 per child. (An adult must accompany kids under eight years old.)

This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja at education@riverside.org.nz to discuss sponsorship options if you are struggling to meet the workshop fee or to enquire about more info.
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
