Members of Warkworth Kowhai Art & Craft are hard at work with kilns and canvas as they prepare for the organisation’s upcoming Christmas Fair.
The exhibition and sale day will be held at the Matakana Hall on November 17 and 18, with up to 200 pieces on display.
Warkworth Kowhai Art & Craft secretary Anne Smith says members use a large mix of styles and art forms that will come together at the sale.
“We have everything from pottery to painting, calligraphy, print making, felting, glass art and more,” Anne says.
She says the standard of work is high, with a number of award-winning artists involved.

“We’ve had a number of winners at the Rodney North Art Awards over the years and lots of work displayed at the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa.”
Meanwhile, the organisation is looking for more people to join, with 100 members currently.
“It’s a very sociable club, with people coming from as far as Orewa and Mangawhai to attend, and a great way to start out in art.
“We have a wide range of specialist equipment to use and all sessions and workshops are open to anyone with a membership.”
The organisation’s meeting room is located at the entrance to the Warkworth Showgrounds and annual membership is $75, with a $15 one-off joining fee.
