An Ode to Iron

an exhibition by

Ceramic artists Tamara Rookes, Suzie Kirkwood, Cathy Pollock and Della Goodinson come together to explore and interpret the element Iron. Originating from an exploding star, iron is essential to our existence and is intertwined into all life forms on this planet . As ceramic artists we are using iron in our clays and glazes, and the interconnection between iron and our world has given inspiration for the creation of our sculpture and forms.

May 17 - June 11

Open to Public: Wed - Thur 11.30am -2.30pm, Fri -Sun 10am - 4pm liffeygallery1@gmail.com www.downbytheliffeygallery.com

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) can now be left at Hornby Mitre 10 store. This is the stuff that looks like white boards made of little beads and is often used to protect fragile goods and appliances.

The new programme encourages customers to recycle EPS which is difficult to dispose of responsibly. EXPOL then repurposes the material into new products diverting over 400 tonnes of polystyrene from landfill each year.

A maximum of 2 rubbish bags can be dropped off at any one time. Find out more at: https//www.mitre10.co.nz/news/expol-recycling-cubes

Alternatively:- there will be a collection point at the Matariki event where you can leave your polystyrene and we will recycle it for you.
