SUMMARY:The Feedback Lab
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nSTOP MARKING YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! \nIt’s time to unlock your creative noncritical voice. \nIntroducing the Feedback Lab 2026/27 monthly sessions. \nThe Feedback Lab invites artists of many different disciplines and levels to connect\, explore\, and share information ideas and processes in a relaxed non-judgemental environment. \nLead by Carol Bisset\, the Feedback Lab provides a safe place in which to share fresh perspectives on your own and other artists work. Throughout the year there will be a select group of guest speakers who will introduce us to their unique journeys as practising artists. \n“I’m really pleased to hear the Feedback Lab might be returning. \nWhat made it different for me was the intentional focus on constructive dialogue. It created a space where artists could share work and receive considered feedback from fresh perspectives. That process encouraged deeper reflection and brought valuable analytical insight into my own practice. I especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with other artists in Tauranga Moana in a meaningful way; not just socially\, but through critical and creative exchange. \nCarol is an outstanding facilitator. She creates a respectful\, responsive environment where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her ability to guide discussion while allowing space for diverse viewpoints is a real strength. \nGrassroots\, inclusive initiatives like this are vital for sustaining a healthy and connected arts community. They make critical conversation accessible and strengthen relationships within the local creative sector. ” \n– Fiorella Silva Perez. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Greenman Clay Mask Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nA Greenman is a sculpture found across many cultures around the globe\, throughout history. Often found outside in parks or formal gardens\, hanging on walls\, imbedded in religious architecture\, the Greenman is a face surrounded by or made from leaves with branches or vines sprouting from the nose or mouth. It is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth representing the cycle of growth each spring. It also has pagan roots as a rebellious artform – during the Norman conquest of England\, natives of the land were forced to build Norman churches and the Greenmen that appeared on these churches were often caricatures of their conquerors. \nEvery participant will be able to achieve their own unique mask made from clay with guidance by master potter\, Nick Eggleston. They will be fired and ready to collect within 3 weeks of the workshop. \nNick is a long-time collaborator\, tutor and resident artist of The Incubator. He graduated from Chesterfield College of Art and Design and is a member of The Society of Designer Craftsmen. While he is world renown for his amazing water colours\, especially of English Bull Terriers\, he is an actually an artist of many disciplines. He also happens to be a master potter\, a shoemaker\, and of course\, sketch artist. \nFind out more

DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nImmerse yourself in the art of portraiture with artist and expert guide\, Damien Kurth. In this full day workshop\, participants will learn to transform a blank canvas into a captivating likeness. Damien will guide artists through the essential fundamentals of painting from life\, unlocking the secrets to capturing not just features\, but the unique character of the subject. \nThe morning will begin with a quick but focused rundown on proportions\, tone\, and colour using a reference image. Then\, it’s straight into a live portrait session—working from one sustained pose from a model. Both oils and acrylics will be available to use\, and Damien will break down which works best for short to medium poses. \nWhether you’re an absolute beginner or a practicing artist\, this one-off workshop is a shared learning opportunity for all.\nAll materials will be supplied. \nDamien is a longstanding and highly regarded collaborator of The Incubator. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Otago Polytechnic and Master of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts. Damien is also our tutor for our monthly Bare Minimum Life Drawing Group. Learn more about Damien here and check out more of his amazing artworks on his Instagram here. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Ocean Whisperers - Decoupage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nStep away from the everyday and into a world of coastal creativity. This hands-on workshop invites you to explore the art of decoupage using beautiful natural seashells collected from Papamoa Beach. Whether you come solo\, with a friend\, or as a family\, you’ll enjoy a relaxing and welcoming space where creativity flows freely. \nIn this 2-hour session\, each participant will create two unique Ocean Whisperers pieces to take home: \nA Decoupage Shell Pendant – a wearable keepsake inspired by the sea.\nA Decoupage Shell Dish – a charming little vessel for jewellery\, trinkets\, or special mementos. \nNo experience is needed—just a willingness to have fun and get creative! The workshop is designed to encourage self-expression\, connection with nature\, and a sense of accomplishment in a warm and supportive environment. While it’s a wonderful activity for parents and children to enjoy side-by-side\, it’s equally suited for anyone looking for a calming creative outlet. Teens\, couples\, friends\, and individuals are all welcome. \nMonica is a member of The Incubator’s Artist Window Gallery collective of artists and has artwork for sale in the gallery – “My love for nature has inspired me to create these jewellery trays using decoupage on natural seashells washed ashore on local beaches.” Her workshop has been designed for small groups of people who would like to experience a relaxing time while letting their artistic side take over. This is a great activity for a group of friends or team building. \nCheck out Monica’s socials – @naturesartnz \nFind out more
