FREE Craft Workshops @ the Central Library for the Lōemis Winter Solstice Festival!
This winter, reach way back to your neolithic roots with the Lōemis Winter Solstice Festival. Come and get crafty at the Central Library with two evenings of papier-mâché fun with FREE workshops run by local artists Zoe Higgins and Leda Farrow.
From 6-8pm on Wednesday June 6th, celebrate the installation of Seraphina and come along to Central for a FREE Mask Making Workshop lead by artist Zoe Higgins. On the ground floor in the YA area, enjoy an evening getting crafty and making your own papier-mâché mask that you can then wear to the winter solstice parade on June 21.
The following Wednesday (June 13th) at 6-8pm, try your hand at something different with a Silhouette Egg Lantern Workshop lead by artist Leda Farrow. The egg, a universal symbol of life will be an ancient and symbolic inspiration for your lantern which can then be used to light the way for Seraphina during the winter solstice parade.
All materials and paints will be included and provided. Registration is required, as there are a limited number of spaces available.
To register, please contact either the Library or Lōemis via email to enquiries@wcl.govt.nz or info@loemis.nz, via phone at 04 801 4040 or come and speak to a Librarian to reserve your place.
These events are suitable for people of all ages however children must be supervised by an adult.

Happy Tuesday, neighbours, can you figure out what I am?
I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?
