Art classes for adult beginners and beyond beginners
Hello
I am messaging to spread the news of our very popular Howick and Kohimarama art classes especially designed for adults who would like to learn how to get started with the fascinating and absorbing pastime - creating art. Our classes have been running for 3 years in Howick and Kohimarama and hundreds of people have discovered their 'inner artist' and the joy of creativity in that time. Our classes will continue to go forward under the new name of The Village Art Classes (formerly Seasons Art Class Howick). You can join us for the full 15 week course or any of the individual 5 week modules (sketching, watercolours and acrylics). All equipment supplied, just bring yourself and enjoy.
We also offer 1-day (5 hour) workshops. The next workshop is on Thursday 2nd March and will focus on sketching and drawing.
Do phone or email me for more information, I would love to hear from you.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
