Woodcraft Club Sets Up Shop In Whangarei Once More
Tuesday, 24 November 2020, 6:46 pm Press Release: Woodcraft Club
For the 20th year in a
row, Northland Woodturners and Woodworkers Club has opened a
special pop up shop in The Strand Arcade, Whangarei to sell
beautiful, locally made woodcrafts to the
public.
One-of-a-kind bowls, platters, toys,
sculptures, utensils, pens and much more, made from stunning
native and exotic timbers, will be
available.
“It’s a unique opportunity for the
public to access quality, locally made goods – perfect for
Christmas presents,” says Club President Bob
Langford.
“We received great feedback on the quality
and range of items available last year. We invite the people
of Whangarei to support local and call in and see us. The
shop is open Monday – Friday between 9am-5pm and Saturdays
from 9am – 2pm.”
The growing club of wood turners
was one of the first to set up in New Zealand in 1979, and
is now based out of permanent club rooms at the Quarry Art
Centre. 65 members meet a few times a month to learn the
craft from experienced locals or visiting experts, with some
members coming from as far away as
Kerikeri.

Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
