Waiata In The Woolshed

Wild Earth Yarns Ltd promotes what used to be a given in New Zealand: knitting yarn harvested on NZ farms and processed in NZ. Now, it’s more common to see NZ wool processed in China (sometimes at half the “cost”). Wild Earth Yarns is a family-operated and friendly supplier of pure Aotearoa wool … thank you, Jacqui, for your listening ear when Mum had just had her accident. Lambkin is finished and will hopefully prove to be a suitable pick-me-up.

“What These Walls Remember” opened at City Art Depot on Tuesday evening and I was overjoyed to sneak a pic with artist Stephanie Postles. Her colourful new oil paintings - on canvas and panel - lit up a beautiful space upstairs.

Charlotte Watson’s delicate ceramics need to be seen to be fully appreciated. Her display, “Awash” was exquisite.

I met some interesting people, including many artists, and enjoyed checking out this space that offers conservation framing. I recommend you stop to view these current exhibitions, which end on 18 May.
