New Opportunities To Share 2025

Art workshops are such a lovely way to share my creativity with a larger audience. Hands on with demonstrations and talking about colour, techniques and surfaces. I used to share my personal studio space but felt I needed more space to branch out and be able to share my workshops with more people, plus sometimes my own work takes over my studio! So the opportunity came along via a friend and fellow creative and ceramicist Joanne Fairley, who owns and runs Apollo Clay & Art Studios on Apollo Drive, Mairangi Bay. This is a light filled studio, sunny and warm, full of inspiring pottery and art which can be purchased in the gallery shop, plus Joanne is offering pottery classes in this well equipped studio.

I am offering art workshops on different Saturdays over the next few weeks and months, with a view to increase them as the word spreads. I have already done the first watercolour workshop and met some great people who took some time back for themselves to enjoy creating some lovely paintings. If you are interested in getting back to a creative activity with a varied choice, in a beautiful new space, check out my new art sessions/classes/workshops on my art session page on my website or check out the Facebook page Make Your Mark art NZ, where I will update and share the experience with you.

Here’s to getting creative in 2025 , it is so good for our mental health and quality of life. Go the arts!
