Summer Drop in Land sessions with Artist Margaret Fenney

When: Thursday 19 & Saturday 21 December
Where: Community Gallery Space Franklin Arts Centre

Time: 10am – 1pm

TERRA FIRMA
Earlier this year Franklin Community Arts funded artist Margaret Feeney to run a workshop looking at what land means to people. Land is home, it is income, it is ancestral right, it is something we control and use, as well as something we love and feel kaitiakitanga towards. How does art tell the story of all these different feelings?

This summer programme at Franklin Arts Centre explores these ideas in further depth across four workstations exploring mark-making and frottage, clay, collage and paint. The workshops are experimental and fun, and everyone’s welcome.

Drop in any time between 10am and 1pm on Thursday 19 or Saturday 21 December to have a go.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Moments and Memories
An exhibition by Michelle Neale
27 November - 16 December 2024

Moments & Memories’ celebrates and captures those moments and emotions we experience when looking at art. Whether it reminds you of someone, somewhere, or simply makes you feel something; be it joy, love, nostalgia, relaxation, excitement or just peace. Staring at the movement and brush strokes, the viewer is invited to loose themselves in the work and take in whatever is brought to light in that moment and enjoy the experience.

Michelle is passionate about representing or emoting memory through art. Some of the paintings in this series are inspired by wedding bouquets, directly representing the gathered florals in an abstract form with new life and energy.

Opening event: Saturday 30th November 10-12pm
Come and celebrate the opening of ‘Moments & Memories’ with Michelle. Hear directly from the artist about their inspirations and practice.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Cost: $95 Per person

To book visit: michelleneale.com...

In this workshop you will have 3 ceramic baubles to paint however you like. Michelle will then add a satin varnish on top to seal them nicely with a uniform finish, and add a ribbon of your choice.
They will then be ready to collect from The Franklin Art Centre approximately a week later.
Bring yourself, grab a coffee on your way in from the cafe conveniently next to the gallery, and come enjoy some Christmasy treats and other festive elements.

Message from Michelle:

I LOVE Christmas! Everything about it. The food, the smells, the crafts, the tree, the traditions, family and friends. So I've created a fun little workshop for us to get into the festive season.
Take some time out for yourself amongst this crazy end of year season, and join me for a fun festive creative morning, painting your very own ceramic baubles.

Looking forward to having you, being creative together, and getting excited about CHRISTMAS !
