The power of a loving community…

Someone to give the food

People to come and cook, serve and spend some quality time

Someone to give the cups to serve hot drinks and soup in

Shout out to our friends at for being an essential part of this community!!

Toi Whakaata: Gallery Inspiration!

Our "Art-Easters" art group recently had the joy of visiting the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū to explore the powerful exhibition Toi Whakaata by renowned Māori artist Fred Graham.

On day one, we took in the beauty and storytelling woven through Fred's carvings and artworks - bold forms that speak deeply of whakapapa, whenua, and wairua.

Then, on day two, we returned for a hands-on studio session inspired by Fred’s work. Using cut-out shapes and abstract design, we explored form and shared our cut-outs with each other to create collaborative works of art, learning to express big ideas through simple shapes - just like Fred does.

Big thanks to the gallery team for their warm welcome and insightful tour. What a special way to connect through art and creativity!

Recently at the Art-East studio, a transformative process has been unfolding, as shattered remnants of crockery and overlooked treasures are being reborn into vibrant mosaics!
The art of breathing new life into discarded fragments has sparked a thought-provoking conversation, yielding a wonderful exploration.
