It was a beautiful sunny morning with our group in Onehunga

We enjoyed a warm cup of coffee together and experimented with a sensory art activity, using ice cubes to help spread gouache across the page and create bold, abstract pieces.

There was a focus on mindfulness and playfulness, with plenty of room for surprises and for each person to explore in their own way. 🧊

Thank you to Jane and Sarah for always bringing your lovely energy to the sessions.

So happy to have StudioNZ facilitating, and much appreciation to North for making these sessions possible.

Always a wonderful time with our group.

The room was filled with light, and the birds were flying across our paper. It was lovely to try new things, step slightly outside our comfort zones, and celebrate the wonderful creative skills of our participants.

We’re also so lucky to have such a great team supporting these sessions. Thank you, Jane, for your beautiful energy, and to our lovely volunteer Sarah for being part of it.

It was a joy to have Ana Ferrari facilitating the session, and a big thank you to for your support in helping make these sessions possible.

We had a lovely time with our Seniors group.

We explored collages and conversation, shapes, and colour, giving ourselves permission to play and experiment. We created a series of colorfull space for birds to fly!
Much appreciation to Foundation North Auckland Council Lotto New Zealand Selwyn Social Impact for making this possible ✨

It was wonderful to be together with our # Papakura community. This week, we explored again the screen-printing process, and everyone embraced it with curiosity and confidence.

It has been such a joy to watch their creative expression continue to grow and to see the beautiful, unique pieces they have created along the way.

A huge thank you to Foundation North, Auckland Council, Lotto New Zealand, and Selwyn Social Impact for their support in making this opportunities possible

A lovely winter morning discovering printmaking and stamps together. Bold and diverse result that welcome imperfections and building skill over previous sessions works. A big thank you to Foundation North, Auckland Council, Lotto New Zealand, and Selwyn Social Impact for their support in making these opportunities possible.

Grateful to have LunaCreativeStudio as part of the team, sharing her creativity, skills, and passion for helping others discover the simple joy of making.
