Howick Art Classes at MEGANZ School of Visual Arts
Hi everyone,
We are back into a new term for the year. Our students are off to a great start. We are looking at 'abstraction' in art to begin with and exploring all sorts of materials to create an artist's book.
This is the 'seed phase' of the creative act. Where we throw the seeds in the ground and see what grows.
You're lucky, as we still have a few spaces in some of our classes, so you or your child are most welcome to join us. New students from age - tweens, teens, and adults can begin at any time throughout the term. We have up to 8 students in each class. There are after-school, evening, and Saturday class times available.
Please check out our website for details and text or phone Megan to make an initial 20-minute meet and greet appointment before you or your child begins the class. www.vizart.co.nz...

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
