A colourful street seat is being created to go outside Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa.
The project is the focus of a mosaic workshop over the coming school holidays at the arts centre.
The four-day workshop is open to children over the age of nine years and involves designing and constructing the bench, under the guidance of mosaic tutor Rachel Silver. Participants learn hands on techniques including mosaic tiling, cutting ceramic tiles, assembling designs and installing them on a pre-made structure.
The workshop takes place from April 23-26, with sessions running from 10am to 3pm.
Each child can only sign up for one day of the four-day project to give as many children as possible a chance to participate.
