One more week before Denis Bourke Paintings & Bobbie Gray "Insignifican Other" exhibitions come down on next Wednesday 27 April!

"Denis Bourke Paintings" covers areas of interest that have been at work concurrently over several decades in Denis Bourke’s long-standing practice. Bourke has travelled widely across Aotearoa New Zealand, and is a longtime illustrator and recorder of land features.

Bobbie Gray's "Insignificant Other" brings everyday life into art through magnifying borer ‘galleries’ found in the native timber floors of the artist’s home. The works read as abstract paintings, yet the mark making delves beneath the surface, revealing physical depth. The lines left are evidence of life lived, in parallel with our own.

You can also view the works online at www.depotartspacegallery.com...

This week our Advanced cookery students designed a three-course menu that includes a fish dish, involving the filleting of a fish, freshly made pasta - ribbon or ravioli, plus dessert - all with a Mediterranean theme.
This is one of our most popular projects as the students must design a three-course menu, cost it in a spreadsheet to meet a specific budget, create a menu card and timeplan to help them execute the tasks. They must serve the menu to a guest who arrives at 12.30. Everything is done on the day. The students also get to sit with their guest to savour and enjoy their creations.

Along with our cookery students, the Food & Beverage, Level 4 students showcased excellent wine and food service to the guests.

Some of the dishes prepared were -
- Pan seared fish with salsa and mesclun salad
- Fettuccine Al Burro with handmade pasta
- Semolina cake soaked in orange blossom syrup, rosewater sorbet, pistachio crumb & candied orange peel

Auckland Council and the Auckland RSA have come together to provide plenty of opportunities for Aucklanders to honour the military veterans who displayed courage serving our country.

Although the number of in-person services and ceremonies across the region is reduced as a result of the red-light setting during planning, there are still many ways to commemorate at home or in the community.

The dawn service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum is limited to veterans and invited guests only. The public are encouraged to view the service at home on Māori Television.

Visit ourauckland.nz/anzacday for ways to commemorate Anzac Day.

Beautiful handcrafted ceramics from Morocco.

The bowl is quite shallow with a deep foot-rim with holes in it to allow it to be hung up when not in use. The bowl measures approx. 10.5cm height, 2cm foot, 25.5cm diameter top.

The vase/urn measures approx. 34cm height, opening diameter 9cm, maximum diameter at widest part 22cm.

Pattern: abstract fish, waves and stars (bowl only) in blue.

There are a few imperfections in the glaze and some minor chips (see pics) but these are hardly noticeable and only add to the beauty of these handmade artisan ceramics. These are gorgeous functional pieces of ethnic pottery and a fine addition to any collection.

Sold as a pair. Pick up from Devonport.

Price: $100

Please please pick up some rubbish at the beach!!

Abbey from Milford

Milford beach is absolutely full of rubbish right now, if everyone and anyone who walks along there could pick up at least one piece it would make a difference. Please don’t be lazy it’s not hard to do just one piece if you’re there. Picked up all this from just about 10 metres of beach :(
