If you have a chance to attent one of the NZ Textile Experiences, take it! I very much enjoyed a private felt workshop in the studio of Colleen herself. She is a wonderful teacher (and great artist); explaining the felt techniques clearly and always happy to share lots of thoughts and examples to get inspired yourself.

Highly recommend for those who enjoy horses. We get to bring the horses in, groom them, saddle them up and then enjoy some warm up in the lovely big outdoor arena and then head off for a trek around Sharon’s beautiful farm. The sights of the nelson bay and mountainous backdrop is stunning ! Such a great experience - and so close to Nelson city. All the horses are so well cared for and Sharon and her team know how to teach you the right way to ride and ‘communicate’ with your horse for a happy and safe ride. A must do when visiting Nelson !

Come on an iconic Kiwi road-trip around the 'Top 'o' the South, visiting some magical places off the tourist radar. Learn on location from a qualified tutor to fast-track your camera skills. Shoot wild beaches, derelict jetties, shipwrecks, seal colonies, rustic machinery on abandoned logging tramways, magnificent waterfalls in lush rainforest. We do the homework, checking tide times and sunset angles, so you can concentrate on capturing the landscape. Your choice of 2 or 3 days. Golden Bay or the West Coast. Treat yourself!
5. The Woolshed
The Woolshed Canaan is situated on the Takaka Hill, on the way to Golden Bay. We are open Thursday - Sunday in the summer. We offer coffee and a bite to eat, tame farm animals and a selection of wool and craft. We sell yarn and carded wool from my own flock of gotland sheep and perendale merino blend yarn from my sister's farm. We also offer workshops on knitting, wet and needle felting and weaving squares. These workshops can be booked on our website allowing 12 hours notice.
