Join us for another exciting Cushion Concert at the historic Inverlochy House with Planet. Not to worry if a cushion is not your thing...we have chairs!

PLANET mixes traditional bagpipe airs, with post punk riffs, and a dollop of vaudevillian good humour.
It could be world music, it could be underground indie rock. It could be psychedelic folk music. But it's always approachable and certainly a lot of fun.

Only $10 Sunday 25 June 5-6pm

“PIQUE ASSIETTE” MOSAIC - MAKE AND TAKE 2 DAY WORKSHOP 15 & 16 JULY

Create your own unique and colourful up-cycled artwork using the technique of Pique Assiette Mosaic
Picque Assiette is a style of mosaic that uses ceramic crockery shards, mirror, old tiles, found objects and other recycled bits and pieces into a design.

The term “Pique Assiette" has its origins in France and means “stolen plate” or “broken plate”.

There is a long tradition of using broken and discarded materials in folk art in Europe and Latin America, and has been around since the turn of last century, notedly embedded in the works of Architect Gaudi in Barcelona’s Parc Guell.

On day 1 of the workshop you will design and construct your mosaic artwork using hand held tile cutting nippers of various strengths. You will discover how to permanently fix your mosaic pieces to the backing board provided and leave to set overnight.

Day 2 will see you finish, grout and polish your artwork ready to take home and proudly hang on the wall.


There will be buckets of colourful ceramic shards to choose from. Feel free to bring along your treasured old chipped china to carefully cut up and reinterpret into your art piece.

Bring a packed lunch or explore the Te Aro cafes during your half hour lunch break.

"A magical afternoon spent at Silverstream today! A good variety of birds to be seen too! As we got out of the car in the driving range, a kotāre was sitting on the power line to welcome us!
It was funny that Clive and I were just talking about me having seen a magpie taking a bath in the water when I last visited, then a few minutes later after watching 3 kereru and 2 magpies who had been fighting each other earlier on, all sitting in the same tree together, suddenly one of the magpie decided to hop into the water and take a bath much to our delight! There was also a chaffinch taking a bath further up the stream."
