The Art of Spoon Carving

The Feilding & District Art Society

Thanks to everyone who came to meet Robyn Parkinson last week. We all learned lots about how she began the art of spoon carving, the processes undertaken to create her spoons, and what it means to embrace wabi sabi in her artistic practice.

For those who didn't get a chance to come along, you still have until April 19 to see the exhibition. Come along to see spoons in a way you never have before – as icons of domesticity, symbols of beauty, and objects of art.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
