There is a 4 week course starting net week Tuesday, 11.8., from 6 – 8 pm, $ 70 for 4 weeks. Clay provided & included on the first night, more can be purchased at the club at cost.

The first two weeks will focus on working with clay, simple techniques to get a feel for it, and making mugs and bowls, slab and coiling techniques.
After that we will focus on sculpture, like animals, birds, etc., or anything that might interest the participants.

This is really a class for beginners to get a feel for clay, the classes will be structured at first, like a step by step guide. You will end up with something beautiful, self made, that you can use!

There is also the possibility of doing a follow up class, maybe with a short break, maybe straight away afterwards, depending on demand.

Maximum 10 participants. To inquire please email info@ctraftpotters.co.nz.

Random Acts of Kindness – August 1st to 31st 💞

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”
