This workshop spans a weekend in May with all materials provided. It will look at some of the design elements in the work of Charles Rennie MacIntosh, a Glasgow born architect, designer, artist and one of Scotland's most influential creative figures. We will view images of some of his works to identify the basic design elements he became famous for during the Art Nouveau period – a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves, elongated forms, flowing lines, restrained colour, symbolism, geometric patterns, and emphasis on the rectilinear.
You will play with those elements to make your own MacIntosh inspired designs. Everyone will have the opportunity to try out colour pencils, GOLDEN’s QoR watercolours, Fluid, High Flow and SoFlat paints on a variety of grounds. You can choose from Canson Drawing Paper, Bockingford Cold Pressed Watercolour paper or Hahnemuhle Acryl to develop your work.
Cost: $210
Location and Dates: This workshop will take place on Saturday May 20th from 10am – 4pm and Sunday May 21st 2023 from 10am – 3pm at Morag Stokes Art Studio, 14 Morepork Drive, Waikanae. Tel. 027 380 3282.
Materials:
• What is provided: A choice of pre-gessoed cartridge paper, watercolour paper or an Acryl surface for your main design, plus sketch paper, pens, pencils, scissors, shape templates, and a variety paints to choose from by GOLDEN (High Flow, SoFlat, Fluids, and QoR).
• What you need to bring - Just your lunch.
Lunch and refreshments: There will be a 50-minute lunch break on both days. Bring your own packed lunch or visit one of the cafes in Waikanae town, a few minutes’ drive from the studio. Tea, instant coffee and nibbles will be provided for you to help yourself to throughout the day.
How to register: You can register your place in this course, and receive payment details, by contacting Morag Stokes at jubileems@gmail.com or telephone 027 380 3282. Your place will be confirmed when payment in full is made.

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

The workshops kick off with an introduction to composting, worm farms and Bokashi, with an opportunity to ask composting questions – a great introduction if you've wondered about composting but not quite been sure how to get started.
Composting's a great way to stop food and garden waste going to landfill, to create great fertiliser for your garden, and even to help protect our climate. There are many different ways to compost, and this workshop will help you find the right method for your household.
