Mairangi Arts Centre

Inspired by the colourful works of artist Niki de Saint Phalle, kids will create their own Spring gardens in mixed-media. Butterflies, flowers, and favorite plants!
Learn how to design and grow gardens of your dreams.

Learn how to use the slab sculpting technique to create your very own mug to use at home.  Ricki will show you how to add texture to your mug which will  then be painted with beautiful coloured glaze. 

Learn how to create your very own Fairy House Lamp using a recycled plastic bottle and paper clay.  This is a 3-day course (3 Oct,5 Oct and 10 Oct) where we will be building and sculpting for the first two days.  Once the sculpture has dried we will paint it using detail and shading to look realistic and then add the fairy lights....ready to take home. PLEASE BRING A 1.5 or 2 L PLASTIC BOTTLE WITH YOU TO FIRST SESSION

Paint a beautiful picture of the golden colours of springtime and summer. We will be inspired by looking at the impressionist paintings.
