Explore the Japanese art of mokuhanga

Explore the Japanese art of mokuhanga/water-based woodblock carving in this Sunday workshop.

You will learn:

· How to transfer a design onto a woodblock

· Step-by-step carving of printing plates specifically for mokuhanga

One of the unique features of mokuhanga is its accessibility—no printing press or large studio is required.

This makes mokuhanga an ideal printmaking method for those who wish to set up a creative space at home.

All tools and materials necessary for the workshop, carefully selected to suit this technique, are provided by the tutor.

Clear skies draw crowds to Christmas Parade

It was cloudless skies and happy smiles as dozens of floats travelled down Anglesea St at this year’s First Credit Union Christmas Parade.

‍

Hundreds of families lined the street to watch, wave, and cheer as the procession went past on Sunday afternoon.

‍

For Teterina Ronald and her kids Selah and Zion, it was their seventh year enjoying the spectacle.

‍

“We've really enjoyed every time, every year, with our kids,” Ronald said. “As they grow up, each year, it just gets bigger and bigger.

‍

“So this is a bit of a family tradition.”

‍

She said they enjoyed seeing the Chinese dragon and the Māori float.

‍

“We also enjoy all the kids that take part in it and the dancing and the cheerleading as well.”

‍

Both kids were looking forward to the Christmas season - Selah said she was excited for their family holiday and Zion was looking forward to Santa coming.

‍

Meanwhile, Suzanne Wong and Melanie Burr came to the parade each year with their families and friends.

‍

Wong said her daughter Dakota was looking forward to seeing Santa, the elves, and the princesses, while Burr’s son Cooper was excited to see the trucks and the cars in the procession.

’Stat you? Riff Raff under wraps, but with a Valentine's Day Rocky Horror party to look forward to

Hamilton’s favourite - and possibly least controversial - statue is soon to make a triumphant return to his traditional home in Embassy Park.

‍

Actually, Riff Raff is already back. He’s just all wrapped up and nonchalantly tucked away in a corner of the park outside the new Waikato Regional Theatre.

‍

Riff Raff Public Arts Trust chairman Mark Servian said the Riff Raff statue was lifted back into his old home by a mobile crane last Thursday.

‍

The effigy of the deviant butler from The Rocky Horror Show will remain under wraps until shortly before the park - which is still under construction - is opened to the public.
