Many thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Matariki at Lens Pens Paper at Driving Creek Gallery on Friday June 24. It was great to see people from all over the peninsula.
Huge thanks to Roimata, his mum and sister for their beautiful singing. Enjoy!

A rainy driving creek day sgraffito and bisc loading. @abiwoollcombe The rain has passed. Crisp winter days. Video thanks to @michaelcraig only one week left here. Such a great stretch of time and space. Many comings and going’s around Barry’s table. So great to see this place ever evolving, a continuum of creativity,
life and magnificent growth.

Heads up it’s looong weekend this week with Frid

Heads up it’s looong weekend this week with Friday being Matariki & the weather is looking 🌤
What’s a better way to spend the long weekend?

A pretty cool photo from before 1990 with a trainload of donation-paying passengers heading across No.1 Viaduct in Elephant 😯
