PAINTING for BEGINNERS - 2 hour lesson for Parents & Children
WATERCOLOUR PAINTING for BEGINNERS for ALL THE FAMILY Sat 31 July 10am - 12.
During the July school holidays a few parents asked if they could they please join their youth so I set up a class especially for them. The class went so well and was so much fun I have set up more, one this Saturday and another Sat 14 Aug. The subject will be Mt Ruapehu on a calm day after a cold winter southerly has just passed through.
$25 for both youth and parents, includes all materials supplied, just turn up and you'll all leave 2 hours later buzzing with your completed painting and a beaming smile of creative satisfaction on your dial. (Note to parents - sorry wine is only served during the evening ‘Wine & Watercolour sessions :)
No previous art experience is required and no need to worry about drawing as the painting outlines will already be drawn out for your to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting in a relaxed and enjoyable, step-by-step procedure. These workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style.
Please inquire about other youth classes as well as our fun Wine & Watercolour evenings, ideal for group social events and parties with a difference.

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.

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it.
