Enrolling for Term 1 - Art Development courses for tweens, teens and adults
Happy New Year everyone,
Back into again for 2024. This year is going to be a good one, I can feel it.
MEGANZ School of Visual Arts is now in the process of enrolling new students for Term 1.
We accept tweens, teens, and adults in our mixed-aged classes.
My daughter Greta Umbers and I are planning some cool art
projects we can start the year with. Then we will open it up and follow each student's unique path and ideas, helping them to create what is in their mind's eye.
We have various class times/days available to choose from, so
come along and book a 20-minute meet-and-greet appointment before the courses begin and we will explain how we work and what you will need.
We are based in Cockle Bay, (opposite Howick College).
Classes begin from the 30th of January for 8 weeks, however, you can enroll any time throughout the terms.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Look forward to meeting and working with you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
