Find out about other courses or sessions coming up at the Canterbury WEA. Discounts are always available to those with a Community Services or Hāpai Card.

Creative Print Making

Dates: Wednesdays from 9th October 2024 (5 sessions - but no class on 23rd October).
Time: 6 to 8pm.
Cost: $60 per person.

Groundbreaking Maori artist Marilynn Webb's exhibition “Folded in the Hills” provides the inspiration for this series of printmaking sessions conveniently timed for after work. Beginners are welcome. Tutor Diane Swain will  supply some inks, tools, plates, blocks, other materials and papers.

Please bring an old shirt, as inks can be messy!

Find out more about this creative print making workshop series with Diane Swain, including how to register.

Movement and Music for Fun

As we grow older, it is important to maintain what we take for granted: flexibility, strength, balance, and range of movement. This class with Nicola Rooney helps address these areas.

There will be seated options, and modifications for injury and mobility limitations - so everyone can enjoy the benefits of movement, regardless of their energy levels on the day. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that promote activity.

Date: Mondays from 14th October 2024 (6 sessions but no class on Labour Day - 28th October).
Time: 1 to 2pm.
Cost: $41 per person.

Find out more about this movement and music session series, including how to book.
