Open Studio: Feilding-based Weaver Esther Nitschke

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Feilding-based weaver Esther Nitschke MBE is opening her studio to the public for the Manawatu Art Trail this weekend.

Esther has been spinning, weaving and teaching workshops for nearly 60 years. Her long history of awards and accolades include three woven garments held in the collection at Te Papa and in 1994 she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to weaving.

On display will be a wide range of work as well as items of weaving memorabilia including her own personal sample books. Esther will be giving demonstrations for those interested and her much-loved hand woven linen tea towels, beautiful wool blankets and cushions will be available for purchase.

Everyone is welcome, whether you are visiting as part of the Art Trail Manawatu or dropping in independently.

The studio will be open 10am – 4pm on the 15th and 16th of October.

Hi is there someone that fixes gas ovens

Joan from West End

My oven is not old. The gas isn’t coming through all the gas jets so the oven won’t stay on. The ignition only goes on certain hobs on the oven top.
please Phone Joan 0226484047
