The iwi and police checkpoints are continuing in Tai Tokerau under coronavirus alert level three. On Tuesday, about one in 10 drivers pulled over were turned around just before Kawakawa because they did not have a legitimate reason for travel.

On Tuesday, about one in 10 drivers pulled over were turned around just before Kawakawa because they did not have a legitimate reason for travel. What do you think: Are motorists flouting the rules? Should they be turned around?
Early childhood centres and schools in Northland are ready to have pupils - in small numbers - again but most children are staying at home.

How are your children (or grandchildren) coping in the lockdown? What do they miss most? And who is helping them? Do they have teachers like the fabulous Mairtown Kindergarten teacher Anne Bawden who dresses up to read stories?
Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

It amounts to a Government not interested in providing a service. The systems they have set up are ridiculously difficult to access and heaven help anyone taking more than two tries to log in. They will cite security reasons but really it is merely a farce = they would be much better off hiring more staff! Oh the joy when one eventually manages to speak to a real person! I am sick to death of it. I finally sorted out Real Me recently by waiting to speak to a 'real person'on thee phone the next day! No business could run this way, they would lose customers! It is time some data expert looked into the two strikes and your out for 15 mins at the very least. Now I have been shut out from My IRD in attempting to make a claim for donations! Couldn't even access through Real Me so where is the service? My rant for the day.

I'm looking for a small culvert pipe to put under metal soon to be laid in a gateway - cannot afford much and only has to be about 12'-13'long and smallish diameter. Hikurangi area preferably but will look at further afield.

We have reopened in accordance with Alert Level-3 restrictions. Those that come onsite only do so if and when it is necessary to carry-out their work or business and only when government health guidelines can be properly followed.
As of today, we are able to take orders for ceramics supplies, for delivery or contactless pick-up from the carpark, provided the order and payment can be made in-advance. Also, ceramic works that need firing in our kiln can be dropped-off and collected by arrangement. We certainly hope this offers some relief to our community.
Please email admin@quarryarts.org with any enquiries and we will provide assistance.
It is especially pleasing to invite our resident artists to return to use their studios.
For professional artists this is a particularly challenging time. For many artists, their source of livelihood has disappeared, and their prospects are unclear. The Quarry Arts Centre team will continue working with our arts community to find ways to maintain a healthy flow of inspiration and exchange through uncertain times.
To our wider community of artists and enthusiasts, we invite you to reach out to each other and to us, so that we all have the greatest opportunity to reinvent what we create together. In times of crisis like these we are all called upon to make positive changes to how we get things done, as a community.
Unfortunately, we are not yet able to open to the public for casual visits and our ongoing schedule of workshops and exhibitions is still on-hold.
The annual Great Plate event will be going ahead! We’re working to keep it on schedule, in July, and we will keep you all updated. The Great Plate is an important fundraising event on the Quarry Arts Centre calendar with much ado and a great amount of fun had by all. We are so very grateful to our generous community of artists and supporters; ‘throwing’ or sculpting plates, painting, embellishing and donating them for a high-stakes online auction. This year’s event will be especially meaningful in these interesting times.
Thank you all for your ongoing interest in this arts community. Stay in touch.
