Arts and Crafts "Lost and Found"
This is an opportunity for us to engage in the craft work which was carried out by our ancestors, and to appreciate the intricacies of the artwork of our local indigenous people.
The crafts range from fine needlework to forging heavy metal, and there will be workshops, demonstrations, displays, and talks. All levels of experience are welcome to join the workshops and demonstrations to learn from local artists.
There will be workshops, displays, lectures, and fun things to see and do at heritage sites across Thames. These include: • Thames School of Mines • The Treasury Research Centre & Archive • The Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga • Bella Street Pumphouse • The Goldmine Experience • Thames Small Gauge Railway
