Printmaking for Beginners with Margaret Taylor
Learn the basics of printmaking in a small group with an experienced printmaker. Margaret will demonstrate a new technique weekly that you can try with her support. Those with experience can extend their practice and develop their expertise with her guidance. Week 4 involves a shorter timeframe, 1 hour each but 1-to-1 with Margaret rather than the whole class together. Term1 participants found that this reinforces earlier lessons. You also learn how to: manage dirty and clean spaces and ink properly and use the printing press. Cost: $140 non-members plus $10 materials
Enroll at www.kacc.org.nz... or email Margaret at info@kacc.org.nz for more information. Membership for the year costs $55 and gives access to untutored groups and cheaper class fees.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

The problems with Dolly’s limbs began when she was 10, resulting in the surgery on three of her four lower limbs. Her fourth limb may require surgery in the future.
Over the last two years owner Alla Baider has spent $25,000 trying to keep her beloved pet mobile.
Dolly has an empathy with people, that really shone through the Covid lockdown, she said.
“On top of her good looks and winning smile, Dolly has a supernatural sense for whenever someone is feeling down or in pain. It’s impossible to still be upset after receiving a warm hug from her.”

Here's what my foster mum has to say about me:
Charlotte is a sweet wee girl, gentle and friendly with kittenish spirit coming through from time to time. She was initially nervous in her new environment, but patience and gentle encouragement has seen her become playful and sociable.
She likes being patted but isn't too fussed on being picked up and held (although this is improving) and isn't a lap cat at the moment. She spends some of her time in other rooms around the house but mostly likes company and comes when called.
She is an early riser and when she wants something can be quite vocal. She loves playing with small toys and moving things and gets quite absorbed watching action programmes on tv. A warning though, she loves electrical cables. She is a well adapted and house trained cat, and surprisingly, given her underlying nervousness, isn't scared of the vacuum cleaner, however I don't think she will like a rowdy household."
No matter what your culture, you ought to find something special at Red Cross Kilbirnie. We also have a wide range of everyday clothing for you to select from.
