Collective cofounder<br />
Laura Hewetson is<br />
working with<br />
Hurunui’s Broomfield<br />
School pupils to<br />
create amural for the<br />
school.<br />
The children visited<br />
the NEST workshop<br />
in Amberley for two<br />
weeks from the<br />
beginning of this<br />
month to work on the<br />
mural, which was<br />
designed by Laura.<br />
Each child created<br />
atriangle board using<br />
avariety of paint<br />
effects and<br />
techniques under<br />
Laura’s tuition. The<br />
triangles will be<br />
arranged to create a<br />
landscape mural<br />
which will then be<br />
installed on awall at<br />
the school.<br />
‘‘The children had<br />
loads of fun learning<br />
different painting<br />
techniques and<br />
effects,’’ Laura said.<br />
‘‘It was exciting to<br />
see NEST bustling<br />
with such enthusiastic<br />
and creative energy.<br />
‘‘The mural will be a<br />
great showcase of the<br />
community<br />
involvement that<br />
forms part of the<br />
NEST Arts Collective<br />
ethos.’’<br />
