School Holiday Art Classes + Wine & Watercolour Evenings
Attending one of the beginner painting or drawing classes at Petone’s seaside gallery could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities youth could do these school holidays. Experienced tutor, Alfred Memelink will teach you in a fun and friendly environment in a wonderful classroom overlooking the sea.
No previous art experience is required - these workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style. No need to worry about drawing as this will already be done to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting in an enjoyable, step-by-step procedure. $25 includes all materials supplied,
Each class is 2 hours, either 10 – 12 morning or 1 - 3 in the afternoon. Drop your youth off at our gallery and while you head off for a coffee at one of the many wonderful Petone Cafes whilst we have some fun with art. Pick them up again two hours later with their completed masterpiece to show you which they'll be so proud of and wearing a smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
