Exhibitions and Workshops in June
June is the start of a busy time at Feilding Art Centre. We’ve got two fantastic exhibitions coming up, as well as some inspiring workshops for adults and kids alike!
From June 17 to July 18, the Seated Photographers present A Moment in Time: From Where I Sit. The Seated Photographers are a group of artists from around New Zealand (and even further afield), each of whom lives with a physical disability. A Moment in Time: From Where I Sit incudes work by nine Seated Photographers and is the group’s second exhibition here at Feilding Art Centre, following their successful show early in 2021.
Opening June 21 and running through to July 20 is Katie Russell’s exhibition, Brilliant Colour. Through the medium of relief printmaking, Brilliant Colour celebrates the vibrancy and joy of gardening. Growing plants, whether it be an indoor jungle or a frilly flowerbed, is a mindful experience that removes us from the stress of our busy lives. Katie translates that experience into brightly coloured, patterned woodcuts and linocuts.
Celebrate Matariki by designing your own glimmering piece of sterling silver jewellery with Rholene Singleton – June 25 from 8.30am to 1.30pm. During the workshop you will learn how to design, measure, saw, anneal, shape, solder, texture and polish your own version of a basic ring band, which you get to take home at the end of the session! Tickets are $155 per person and available at www.rholenesingleton.com... – classes limited to 4 participants.
On June 29 from 4-6pm, you’ll have the opportunity to try out printmaking for yourself. In a special Meet and Make Session, enjoy some light refreshments while Katie guides you through the process of making a print from pre-cut blocks, inspired by the works of Brilliant Colour. This is a drop-in session, come for as long or as little as you like! Entry is free and all materials are provided but we do recommend a koha of $5 to help cover costs.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
