Everything from cement sculpture and Japanese Shibori to creative photography and Christmas card making is on offer in Mangawhai next month, when two weeks of creative workshops will be held.
Mangawhai Artists have lined up 15 local arts and crafts tutors for a multi-media fortnight of artistic fun that runs from Saturday, November 4 to Saturday, November 18.
The range of classes will include abstract painting, working with resin, theatrical drawing, cement sculpture, bonsai, working with charcoal, painting with acrylics, mixing paints, harakeke weaving, Japanese Shibori and dyeing, scrapbooking, making Christmas cards with quilling and photography.
All the workshops are being held at the Mangawhai Artists’ workspace and gallery at 45 Moir Street, except for the cement sculpture workshop, which will be held in Devich Road.
Organisers say the comprehensive programme is aimed at everyone from artists wanting to improve and expand their skills to beginners keen to have a go at something new, or even just as a different way to socialise and meet new people.
Prices for workshops start at $35 and go up to $190, with most sitting between $50 and $70.
There is also a free social event at the Moir Street gallery, Creative Connection, on Tuesday, November 7, from 5pm to 7pm, with Creative Northland’s new Kaipara creative adviser, Kylee Newbold.
