School Holidays at Feilding Art Centre
It’s set to be a rainy, grey school holiday break. Luckily, Feilding Art Centre is offering plenty of opportunities to have fun and learn new skills over the next two weeks.
Tomorrow, come along to Colour and Collage: Kids aged 8-12 will work with artist and printmaker Katie Russell to make a mixed media artwork.
Friday July 15: The teens and adults among us can learn to make Leaf and Feather-inspired earrings with Rholene Singleton.
Tuesday July 19: Bee Creative will show your 8-12 year-olds how to make a mask inspired by the Day of the Dead Festival.
Wednesday July 20: Bee Creative returns to make felt toys with kids aged 8-12.
And of course, there’s always our ever-changing schedule of exhibitions taking place in our downstairs gallery!
To see everything that’s going on and register for any (or all) of the above classes, be sure you visit our website.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
