  • Nerikomi Hand-building with Clay for Adults

    Category: Workshops Nerikomi Hand-building with Clay for Adults


    June 11, 2024

    An exciting new workshop led by local ceramics artist Clarissa Machado. Nerikomi is a technique of layering coloured clays to create stunning effects in the finished pieces. Clarissa will teach the class how to make 2 nerikomi blocks from 3 natural colours of clay – one featuring a random pattern and one a planned pattern. Use these blocks to hand-build small pieces using moulds and learn to create a beautiful finish. This is a handbuilding class, however the techniques presented can also be used to create blocks for wheelwork. No experience necessary, suitable for beginning or intermediate clay artists.

    Membership if applicable, clay and bisque firing included, glaze firing charged separately.

    $160 RCAC + Clay members, $180 RCAC members, $200 non-members

    Class limited to 8 max, book online here

  • Karioi Quilts & Crafts

    Category: Art Group/ Drop In Session Karioi Quilts & Crafts


    June 13, 2024

    Karioi Quilts & Crafts - second Thursday of every month.

    The Karioi Quilters have been making high quality, natural fibre, artistic quilts for many years. Primarily a patchwork and quilting group, the members meet to share knowledge and skills and enjoy creating in good company.

    From 2023, we changed the name to Karioi Quilts and Crafts to open the group up to other crafters. 

    Members can work on their own projects ranging from quilts, sewing projects and you can even bring your knitting, as long as it’s not a messy craft anything goes.  New members are always welcome to come along to work on their own projects and learn techniques from a group of very creative craftspeople.

    Group co-ordinator is Sue Webber 021 489944  

    Meetings are held at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre from 10am to 1pm (sometimes 3pm if the room is available) on the second Thursday of every month. 10 sessions per year from February to December. Subscription is $30 per year which goes towards room hire.
