Rakino Art Participation

We are thinking of holding three morning sessions of art participation during the first week of the new year at the Rakino hall. This will be a get together for artists, painting and sharing ideas and styles. With luck I will be able to persuade Ann to provide coffee and muffins.

Anyone interested or with better ideas, contact Albie mccabe.rakino@kiwilink.co.nz or 372-6087
