3.30-6.30pm - Togetherness Through Craft
Join us for a Saturday afternoon kōrero with artist Steven Junil Park, who will speak about his work in our current exhibition, Yawning at the Fray.
Following the talk, stay for Togetherness Through Craft, a session where you can bring something (anything!) to work or just stay for a cup of tea and a chat. There will be some sewing supplies available, and Steven will be there to share knowledge and skills if you have questions! No pressure, no expectations, no judgement; this is an opportunity to learn and commune through making.
Feel free to drop in and out of these events as you wish.
Some kai and tea and coffee will be provided.
All welcome, free entry.
