On the first Sunday of each month Natasha welcomes the public into her weaving studio to learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and purchase her work.

You can even have a go at weaving yourself and make a cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.

Natasha shares the studio with her father rural artist Graham Christensen, so it’s a great opportunity to enjoy both artist’s work in one location.

Slow Woven Textile Studio is just five minutes from Ashhurst Village which has four lovely cafes The Village Coffee & Co, The Local Backyard, The Herb Farm Cafe and Gorge Quarter which are all open Sundays.

Upcoming dates: 4 January, 1 February

Groups/clubs are welcome by appointment.

Address: 84 Glenburn Road (off Napier Rd), Ashhurst. Just 10 minutes from Palmerston North.

*Number 84 is right at the top of Glenburn Road, so wind your way up the hill until you get to the end. See you there!
