We are delighted to be able to have our base in the centre of the city of Ōtautahi Christchurch at the Arts Centre. Our workshop here in the Boys High Building has come about via support from the Arts Centre, from Life in Vacant Spaces & the Christchurch City Council Enliven Places programme. We also very grateful for the support of Lincoln University who enable our beautiful woodland workshop out in the Brandenburg Coppice.
