CRAFT: Traditional greenwood-working tools in action. Ferrymead park new home to craft group ANCIENT greenwood-working skills meet historic local timber at Rekindle’s new home in the Ferrymead Heritage Park. The park is a natural setting for the traditional craft workshops they are offering. Rekindle, a Christchurchbased social enterprise, is dedicated to sharing creative skills which have an impact on waste and resourcefulness. It is happy to be settled in at Ferrymead, which is the base for their latest initiative, Resourceful Ōtautahi. Its programme focuses on encouraging the use of resourceful skills and undervalued local materials – from cabbage tree fronds to A GREAT FUN NIGHT FOR ALL THE FAMILY timber that was destined for the woodchipper. “Being able to make what we need from what we have is something we all need to feel confident in,” Rekindle’s founder Juliet Arnott said. She said the workshop is “a place people can go to learn and practice craft skills that are traditional yet still highly relevant today because they make the most of available local resources.” She’s particularly excited to be at Ferrymead Heritage Park as she sees a strong alignment between Rekindle’s aims and the park’s commitment to celebrating local heritage and its social impacts. Ms Arnott hopes the park will become increasingly vital for local HEAT PUMP SALE NOW ON!
