Making Landfills

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Join us in Making Landfills, a project by Giulio Laura investigating the politics of waste material.
We encourage you to bring small broken objects no bigger than a hand of any colour to add to the LANDFILL! You will select tools from Giulio's tool wall to prepare and stick your pieces to the mosaic.
Lets bind broken objects, pottery, plastic lids, toys, trinkets in a large scale mosaic

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
