Pottery Christmas decorations workshop

Waikato Society of Potters

9 December 6-9pm

Have you put your tree up yet? The festive season is upon us and people are starting to think about injecting some Christmas cheer into our spaces.

Come along to our Christmas decoration making workshop and make some beautiful decorations to add a tasteful touch to your tree, or even make a few decorations to give away as unique gifts.

You don't need any previous clay experience and even absolute beginners will be able to make something gorgeous with Yasmin's guidance. However, this workshop caters to adults and children who are 12 and over who have a vaccine pass

The cost includes 2.5kg of clay which will make a few decorations, as well as use of our underglazes to add a touch of colour. Firing and glazing will cost a few dollars extra depending on how much you make.

Pleases note: My Vaccine Pass is in operation at the studio.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
