Event description

Kids School Holiday Workshop: Quaint Quilling – The Art of Paper Curling

Ready to get curly? Come and explore the fun world of creating art with curled paper! We will learn some quilling basics - including how to use a quilling tool, before making a couple of artworks including a quilled duck!

This workshop can be a bit fiddly and there is some measuring involved for some projects so please keep that in mind when booking your artist. All materials supplied in class

Students will need to bring snacks and water for breaks.

Students doing both workshops on the same day can stay until the end of the second workshop, which finishes at 3pm, provided they have their own lunch and drink bottle.

This workshop is subsidized thanks to funding and previous workshops, so you only pay $15 per person (with a booking fee of .75c). That’s quackers!

Running Tuesday 8th July 9:30-12pm , this workshop will take place in the Referees Room on Island Reserve (next to the Tigers Sports Club), parking off the end of Rangipare Street) .

Any questions email Rebecca: otocreativeconduit@gmail.com

Bringing creativity to our community via creative workshops, holiday workshops and special events, any profits made go back into subsidising future workshops. So support this local project by signing up to a workshop, liking/following the Ōtorohanga Creative Conduit Facebook page where you can tag/comment/share workshop posts or follow this host page to be notified about future workshops.

We are currently running workshops at either the Ōtorohanga Museum, 15 Kakamutu Road, Ōtorohanga or the Referee Rooms at the end of Rangipere Street Ōtorohanga.

In 2023 the Waipa Creative Conduit was piloted for 3 months in Te Awamutu, this lead to the formation of the Ōtorohanga Creative Conduit (ŌCC) which was established in 2024 and had a successful year operating under the umbrella of the Ōtorohanga District Development Board/Elevate until October 2024.

During that time the Ōtorohanga Creative Conduit offered 13 kids workshops including 2 clay workshops, tee printing, abstract art, creating a secret money box, led jar, watercolour artworks, felt tip creations, collage, silhouette art etc.

We ran 13 Adult/Teen classes ranging from 3 hours to 8 weeks. Workshops offered included photography, mahi raranga Maori weaving, pastel art, clay/pottery x 3, abstract art, movement therapy in Spanish, Tai Chi & art, vision boarding, drawing, pressed flowers, animation and life drawing.

Now in 2025 and going forward, the Ōtorohanga Creative Conduit is continuing to bring creativity to the community via workshops, events and exhibitions as a non-profit organization still run by Ōtorohanga artist and teacher, Rebecca Dowman-Ngapo.

The kaupapa of the Ōtorohanga Creative Conduit is to connect communities together, specifically the creative community with the larger community to build constructive relationships for creative people and create pathways to creativity for the community.

We believe creatives should be paid fairly for their skills so the workshops are priced to cover their hours, materials and venue and any extra made is then put back into the kete to reduce the costs of future workshops, to provide free places in some workshops or to put on free events for the community
