Craft Opportunities
We are thrilled to be able to share free and low-cost weekday resourceful craft workshops for Community Services Card holders and community groups, thanks to support from Creative New Zealand. (If you would like to book into our regular Resourceful Skills Workshop programme, visit here.)
This is a chance to try your hand at printing, weaving, carving and more, and to experience the welllbeing that comes from making things, in a group, from the resources around us.
If you are involved in a community group that works with people who experience financial hardship, mental distress, stigma, isolation and/or disability, or anything else that might make accessing our regular workshop programme difficult, please get in touch with us at wellbeing@rekindle.org.nz - we’d love to hear from you!
