Jacki from Tauriko

Now that winter is here it’s a great time to pick up a paintbrush and explore your creative abilities. I invite you to come and paint with me in my inspirational studio.
Choose one day, SAT May 18th / SUNDAY May 19th 1pm -5pm. $185 all materials supplied including a wine and snacks. You just have to bring your own canvas.

In this 4 hour workshop we will be exploring abstraction. I will be showing you new methods and materials to create unique effects in your creative process. I will teach you how to take risks and get unstuck moving your art forward.
We will discuss what we like in art and how we respond to these attributes.
This class is suited for anyone, from painting dabblers to seasoned artists.
This is not a learn how to draw class, it is an exercise in expression and finding your own rthym and painting style.
Please feel free to share this amongst your friends and give me a call if you have any questions.
Call Jacki 021 0735661
I can’t wait to paint with you!
Regards Jacki

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.

Tauranga Council-private cocktail party

Pat from Welcome Bay

So-here is the latest news. The Council is to host a private cocktail party on the waterfront (not that private then) for 150 invitees to celebrate the city's transformation and progress. The list of invitees is secret (nothing new in that with the track record of the commissioners). Can Council and the commissioners be any more tone deaf? Having a cocktail party with, I assume, canapes when :
1. We are facing a 7% rates rise in a cost of living crisis.
2. Businesses have closed because of the "progress made"
3. We continue to to suffer significant inconvenience in "orange cone
city".
4. We have 4 commissioners who tried to subvert democracy by
asking to remain as unelected overlords at Council.
But really-a private cocktail party? On the waterfront? With, presumably, gates and security guards patrolling to prevent the riff raff getting in. Tone deaf.
