Christmas Bauble Painting Workshop with Michelle Neale
Saturday 7th December, 10am-12:30pm, Franklin Art Centre, Pukekohe
Cost: $95 Per person

In this workshop you will have 3 ceramic baubles to paint however you like. Michelle will then add a satin varnish on top to seal them nicely with a uniform finish, and add a ribbon of your choice.
They will then be ready to collect from The Franklin Art Centre approximately a week later.
Bring yourself, grab a coffee on your way in from the cafe conveniently next to the gallery, and come enjoy some Christmasy treats and other festive elements.
Message from Michelle:
I LOVE Christmas! Everything about it. The food, the smells, the crafts, the tree, the traditions, family and friends. So I've created a fun little workshop for us to get into the festive season.
Take some time out for yourself amongst this crazy end of year season, and join me for a fun festive creative morning, painting your very own ceramic baubles.
Looking forward to having you, being creative together, and getting excited about CHRISTMAS !
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
