Join artist Abigail Aroha Jensen for a fly making workshop at Te Tuhi, as part of her current exhibition, Frog World, 2026. Participants will be creating handmade flies from a mix of materials to stick onto Jensen's cardboard frog, where they will remain for the rest of the exhibition period.
Jensen will be hosting two sessions on Saturday 11 April. The workshops are open to all ages and experience levels, and participants are welcome to drop in anytime during the session. Children must be accompanied by a parent. Materials will be provided.
Between the two sessions, Te Tuhi is hosting an artist talk with Jensen in our cafe. Participants are encouraged to grab a coffee and stay for a chat between workshops.
