Join Waikato art experts Peter Dornauf & Norman Franke for a guided tour of the Auckland Art Gallery.

Enjoy and discuss masterpieces of European and New Zealand art history and of contemporary art. This one-day excursion takes place on Saturday 18 March 2023. Bus departs 8:45am sharp from in front of the EarthDiverse Centre at 401 Anglesea Street and returns by 6:00pm.
Price ($75 one person, $140 2 people) includes bus transport from Hamilton & GST.

Explore the taonga (treasures) of the Auckland Art Gallery with two art experts who have a background in art history and cultural history and who are themselves practitioners. The guided tours are interactive: A brief introduction into or contextualisation of the object d’art is followed by questions and answers and discussion. Using the two major shows ‘Myths of Masculinity’ and ‘Romancing the collection’ as a basis, we will have a look at portrait and landscape paintings, still lives and installations, myth making in and through art, social, political and cultural discourses in light of historical and modern art making.

Wallpaper verses painting

Adam from Adam's Painting

Wallpapering is more expensive than painting, at a cost of at least $55 a roll for a reasonable quality vinyl, compared to around $200 for 10 litres of top coat.

Wallpapering is more expensive than painting, at a cost of at least $55 a roll for a reasonable quality vinyl, compared to around $200 for 10 litres of top coat.
If wallpaper is damaged by careless tenants or family members, it's more of a challenge to repair compared to quickly touching up paint damage. .
But wallpaper is cleaner to work with, you don't have to apply second coats and it does look great. But in the end, as with most decorating decisions, the choice is yours...
Here's a couple of before and after pictures of a rental property in Melville. We stripped, sanded and repapered the lounge walls all ready for the new tenants. It was a nice change from our usual painting process!

Savvy Touch is a family business owned and operated right here in the Waikato.
We have used and recommended Steve's products for 20 years and still keep coming back for more.
Here is what Savvy Touch says about themselves.
We pride ourselves in using the best native ingredients from New Zealand and around the world, our aim is to always be 100% natural. But we will not compromise on performance. if needed we use "preservatives", but again our aim is to use the "cleanest" & most effective. The majority are plant based (coconut) preservatives.
Rocket Fuel our No1 product now becoming world famous a 100% natural synergistic blend designed to support a clear & healthy respiratory system in the head & chest a must have for breathing issues, incredible for athletes, breathe better perform better breathe better recover faster! #3drops #3secs #breathe
Our Skin Smoothie, it's "rude" to call it a moisturiser. It is packed with essential oils & herbs all designed to aid in natural healing of the skin. Incredible on normal skin it hydrates & retexturises. An absolute most have for dry damaged skin. Eczema, dermatitis etc.
Mango Butter Sunscreen. In a base on mango butter with calendula & active manuka honey to aid in natural healing of the skin while. We use zinc oxide as the block with an emulsifier so it absorbs clear into the skin. The big question is. Is it a moisturiser with a sunscreen or a sunscreen that moisturisers!
Just some of the incredible range we proudly call Savvy Touch
