The Art of Spoon Carving
Thanks to everyone who came to meet Robyn Parkinson last week. We all learned lots about how she began the art of spoon carving, the processes undertaken to create her spoons, and what it means to embrace wabi sabi in her artistic practice.
For those who didn't get a chance to come along, you still have until April 19 to see the exhibition. Come along to see spoons in a way you never have before – as icons of domesticity, symbols of beauty, and objects of art.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
