Art Classes in Waikanae - Zen Doodling

Morag from Waikanae

Next month's workshop topic at my Waikanae studio is Zen Doodling. I'm offering a block 4, 3 hour long workshops on Tuesday mornings. This is all about pattern making and arranging and is great for complete beginners to art as well as giving more experienced creatives the scope for developing some pretty sophisticated art works. It is also a very soothing and meditative art practice. I will guide you through small steps to make your 'pattern bank' and help you assemble compositions to bring them together in an art work.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
