Celebrate age, creativity, and connection at Silver Festival Whangārei 2026 with Create, Stitch & Bead, a welcoming hands-on creative session at Reyburn House Art Studio, Town Basin.

Whether you’re an experienced crafter or picking up needles and hooks for the first time, everyone is invited to have a go. Learn the basics of knitting, crocheting, and making colourful beaded bracelets in a relaxed and friendly environment. Experienced tutors will be on hand to demonstrate techniques, offer guidance, and help participants get started. No previous experience is required, and beginners are warmly encouraged to join in.

This social workshop is a great opportunity to learn something new, share skills, meet people, and enjoy the simple pleasures of making something by hand. Come along with friends, or make new connections while creating your own unique craft.
