SUMMARY:Gourd Bird Feeder Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nStep into Andy’s Gourd Bird Feeder Workshop for a relaxed\, hands-on few hours of creativity. It’s the kind of easy\, joyful making that turns into something lasting. With a little care\, your finished feeder will welcome birds to your garden for years to come. \nAndy has been growing gourds on his own property since 2005\, and he brings along gourds that are already dried\, cleaned\, and ready to transform. All you need to bring is a spark of an idea – bold\, whimsical\, or beautifully simple. Andy is more than happy to help cut the holes\, but if you’re feeling adventurous\, he’ll show you how to do it yourself. \nAndy’s great love in the art world is Pop Art\, but over the years he’s delighted in exploring all sorts of styles. For the past five years\, he’s been teaching his Bird Feeder workshops in Whakatāne\, where he helps people turn a humble gourd into something personal\, playful\, and full of life. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:DIY Towel Poncho Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Sew Love\nJoin a group of ocean lovers\, transforming cotton towels into a cosy\, comfy poncho – uniquely made by you. \nI have LOVED sewing surf ponchos for the past 7 years\, trawling opshops and friend’s baches for colourful unique towels to live out a new life in poncho form\, and now i’m excited to share the process and fun with you so you can DIY your own. \nPrep: Bring 3 x towels from home (bath towels or beach towels are both great but similar thickness/weight is ideal). Hand towels make great pockets too. \nI have a selection of towel pieces that will be available for you to turn into pockets\, hoods sleeves etc. And overlockers at the ready to get those edges looking and feeling profesh. \nBring a sewing machine if you have one\, but the room will be set up with machines and all the tools\, threads etc we need to create our ponchos. \nLocation: Social Fabric room\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. \nLevel: You just have to be able to sew straight 🙂 Some sewing confidence required to get it cut and sewn up in 3 hours. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Textured Art Painting
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nPlay with texture\, explore your creativity and create a beautiful artwork in this vibrant and social Textured Art Painting workshop. \nIn this workshop you’ll explore textured painting\, a technique where paint is mixed and applied in thicker layers to create depth on the canvas. Instead of focusing on perfect brushstrokes\, it’s about playing with shapes and movement. It’s surprisingly freeing and a lot of fun! \nLaura will guide you step by step\, but there’s plenty of room to experiment and make the piece your own. By the end of the session\, you’ll have your own textured artwork to take home. \nAll art materials and tools provided\, as well as a few snacks and nibble. BYO drink if you’d like🍷🍻 \nIt’s a vibrant and social evening — great to come with friends\, as a couple\, or even on your own if you feel like doing something creative after work. \nLaura is an Incubator resident artist in the Villa Studios – pop in and say hi! Deeply inspired by the ocean\, Laura’s work reflects the intricate beauty of coral formations and marine ecosystems. Using textured layers\, structural elements and resin\, she creates tactile pieces that evoke the depth and movement found beneath the water’s surface. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Zero Waste Oversized Tee workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Envirohub and Emroce\nDiscover the art of zero-waste fashion and learn how to make your own oversized T-shirt from scratch. \nIn this hands-on workshop with Emroce designer Emma La Rocca\, you’ll explore simple zero-waste pattern-making techniques to design your own oversized tee. This innovative method uses the entire piece of fabric\, meaning little to no textile waste. Rather than working from conventional patterns that often leave fabric offcuts behind\, this approach respects the creation and use of the fabric in its entirety. \nWith Emma’s guidance\, participants will create a mini paper pattern for their perfect oversized tee. We’ll then cut and sew the tee using your own fabric. This workshop is ideal for creative beginners\, sewing enthusiasts\, fashion students and anyone curious about sustainable textiles and making clothes more thoughtfully. \nWhat to Bring:\n– Minimum 1 metre x full fabric width of your chosen fabric\n– Helpful but optional: Domestic sewing machine (we have a few spaces available for those who don’t have their own machine. Please select that type of ticket if it is still available when you book)\n– Paper scissors and fabric scissors\n– Long ruler\n– Set square\n– Cellotape\n– Tape measure\n– Pens or pencil\n– A4 paper\n– Binding for T-shirt edges\n– Chalk\, soap or fabric pen\n– Snips \nSpaces limited to 20 participants – bookings essential. \nFind out more
