Flower workshop for Restore Muriwai
It was a pleasure to run a workshop at the Muriwai Surfclub to make flowers from recycled plastic bottles to decorate the large picture frame located at the entrance of Jack Butt Lane. Thanks for the support and amazing turnout of all ages. Impressed to see 3 generations participate in the workshop. We're all creative at heart. A reminder of the trauma my community is going through post Cyclone Gabrielle but also a celebration of the beautiful place Muriwai is. Help us retore Muriwai.
