This past Saturday, we connected to Māori tradition through Raranga weaving with Ahi Nyx. Ahi offered a safe space to talk about rongoā harakeke, the healing powers of harakeke, and caring for our natural environment. Participants learnt weaving techniques to make their own pāraerae, Māori sandals. Ngā mihi nui Ahi for your wonderful mahi!

Students in Wednesday Brush & Beyond with tutor Xinli Deng created these stunning masterpieces for the end of term 1 👀 This was Xinli’s first class at MAC and we look forward to Term 2 as he continues to inspire young minds through his independent creative art classes for children. With a curriculum that covers sketching, acrylic painting, crafting and mixed media, Xinli aims to not only teach techniques but also guide each student in developing their own artistic language, unique style, and creative themes. This class is a bilingual class as Xinli speaks both Chinese & English. Online booking for Term 2 can be done through our profile link 🎨
