Twill Felt Flower Workshop at Broadgreen House

Cynthia Greep from NZ Textile Experiences

Sunday 10-4 on 25 February 2024. Tutor Karuna Peralta.

During this one-day workshop you will be using wool blend felt sheets to make small felt flowers in beautiful colours, shapes and sizes.

Participants will be introduced to a variety of techniques to make different flower styles, including a small rose, sunflower, cosmos, daisy, pom-pom bud and leaves.

The workshop involves a mixture of hand cutting, stitching & glueing techniques. Card templates and some pre-cut shapes will also be provided.

Finished flower stems can be tied into a posy for a small vase arrangement. Loose flowers and leaves can be attached to a mini hoop wreath to decorate your home or to a brooch pin backing to wear on your coat, hat or bag.

Workshop is $120
Materials cost is $20 per person.

Complementary tea, coffee & snacks are available at the workshop. Please bring a packed lunch and water bottle. The Stoke shops/cafés are a short drive away if you need to purchase something.

Class size max 10 people. No previous experience necessary, just a willingness and openness to learn and explore.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
