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 🎨
🌟 We had an incredible time at our Upcycle Stitching Mindfully Handmade workshop this past Saturday! Huge thanks to the talented members of the @embroiderynorthshore_nz /North Shore Embroidery Guild for sharing their expertise in European stitching techniques and showing our attendees how to breathe new life into their clothing through upcycling. It was a truly inspiring and creative experience for all involved! 🎨👗

On March 23rd, two Chinese Paper Cutting Mindfully Handmade Workshops were held by Family Growth & Thrive Charitable Trust at our Centre.
Under the guidance of Tutor Kim, participants gained insight into the cultural background of Chinese paper cutting. We shared how traditional Chinese paper cutting, especially during the Chinese New Year, is an integral part of the festivities for Chinese families.
Participants had the opportunity to experience two forms of paper cutting designs (based on triangles and squares). Each individual actively participated, experiencing the beauty of different cultures through the art of paper cutting. Thank you Kim & Wenmiao for providing this cultural experience ✂️
