    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.

    Writer's Talk - Elizabeth Amoore

    Category: Artist Talk Writer's Talk - Elizabeth Amoore


    April 26, 2024

    A Whaingaroa Writers World event. Local historian, Elizabeth Amoore, a third generation Raglanite, loves history, and she particularly enjoys researching the history of this area. Come and hear about methods Liz used over a period of more than two years, as she painstakingly researched the East Street cemetery in order to try and identify those buried there. Her book ‘The Stories Behind the Headstones’ is no dull tome of boring facts but an enlightening look at the lives of early settlers, through the telling of their stories and the use of numerous photographs. Liz believes that by reading about their lives we are better able to understand the social context of how individuals and communities experienced previous eras, as well as the impact events had on them.  Koha entry.
