July School Holiday Art Classes at Artspace Gallery - Thursday 11th July
Do you have creative kids? then this art class could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities they could do in the July school holidays. Drop your kids off at Petone's Artspace Gallery and while you head off for a coffee morning, we'll guide them through painting their own watercolour of the Petone Foreshore that they'll be so soooo of.
There's a choice of two, 2 hour workshops on Thursday 11th July to choose from, 10am or 1pm start. Cost of $25 includes all materials. Just turn up empty handed and pick up your child again after two hours later with their completed watercolour painting to be proud of and a smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.
Suitable for ages 7 to 17. No previous art experience is required - these workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style. Don't worry about drawing as this will already be done for you to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting. .

This painting will also be the subject of the next 'Wine & Watercolour' art class in the evening for adults.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
