Pacific carving workshop with Artist Jim Stretton

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Join Artist Jim Stretton in a Pacific carving workshop.
Saturday 18 January
10am – 1pm


To book:

www.eventbrite.co.nz...

Join us for a carving workshop where you’ll reconnect with Pacific history and culture through the sacred art of carving. More than just a creative activity, carving is a form of storytelling and connection—rooted in the traditions of our ancestors.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage your senses and collaborate with others as you create something truly meaningful. You’ll explore the foundations of Pacific carving: how to draw patterns rich in meaning and carve with purpose, weaving stories into every detail.
Led by master carver Jim, who brings over 15 years of experience passed down from his father, this session is a journey into the heart of Pacific artistry. While you won’t become a master carver in one session, you’ll gain a deeper connection to this sacred practice and its cultural significance.
As a special thank you, you’ll leave with your own carving kit, empowering you to continue this meaningful practice at your own pace and in your own time.
