The plan is to establish a creative hub at the Puhoi Sports Club who have given their full support for the project. The objective is to offer a series of hands-on workshops led by Rodney East Arts practitioners over a six-month period.

Potential workshops include:

• Ceramic sculpting/hand-building

• Eco printing

• Screen printing and stencil making

• Mosaic art

• Oamaru stone carving

• Ceramic decorating

• Woodcut printmaking

• Gelli printmaking

• Pit fire or raku techniques

• Harakeke weaving.

The end goal is to host an exhibition at Puhoi Community Hall, showcasing the work of all participating students and tutors.
