WANTED - BORED YOUTH
Due to popular demand - extra youth art classes added at Petone's Artspace Gallery on Friday 19th July
Do you have creative kids? then one of our art classes could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities they could do during these school holidays. Just drop your kids off at Petone's Artspace Gallery and while you head off for a coffee morning in one of the many fabulous cafes in Petone, we'll guide them through painting their own watercolour that they'll be so soooo proud of.
There's a choice of two, two hour workshops to choose from with either a 10am or 1pm start. The cost of $25 includes all materials and quality paper, just turn up empty handed and two hours later they'll have their completed masterpiece to show you and a beaming smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.
Suitable for ages 7 to 17. 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. Don't worry about drawing as this will already be done to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting.

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)
.
