Ashhurst Weaving Studio: Open Day
Slow Woven Textile Studio will be open this Sunday, 1st of February, from 10am–4pm.
Come spend some time with me in the studio — learn about weaving, watch a live demonstration, and even make your own handwoven mug rug to take home for free. It takes about 15–20 minutes.
I’ve also created a special weaving display celebrating the work of Esther Nitschke MBE, my dear friend and weaving mentor, who sadly passed away earlier this week. It’s a small tribute to her remarkable legacy and influence on my work. 🧡
Sunday 1st February 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road (off Napier Rd), Ashhurst
Number 84 is at the very end of the road, so wind your way up the hill and you'll see a big orange flag at the very end. That's me. 🙃

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
