Following a chilly overnighter in a cosy cabin in Ohakune, we had breakfast before heading up to Turoa to watch other people play in the snow. After a coffee back in town, we travelled along SH4, shadowing the Mangawhero River, south to W(h)anganui.
After lunch, we had a good wander around and enjoyed just some of the art-focused stuff based in the city. These included:
the boring gallery (all lowercase) - a local art collective showcase space.
Quartz, Museum of Studio Ceramics - an unparalleled collection of ceramic works collated and curated by studio owner and renowned NZ potter Rick Rudd, who kindly showed us around and answered our questions.
NZ Glassworks - not only as gallery but a working glassworks where you can watch the artist in residence and interns blowing their latest pieces.
Katie Brown - longtime NZ glassblower with her own gallery shocasing her piece and those of artists in other mediums.
An honorable mention has to go to Frosty Moons - a lovely place selling some very tasty desserts and ice creams. We're now looking forward to Taco Tuesday at Porridge Watson later.
*UPDATE*: Fatties Street Food's*** ***Taco Tuesday 'pop-up' at the lovely and quirky Porridge Watson was great and great value - best tacos we have had in some time washed down with a local brew or two.

Just got these colored glass rods in the mail! This Thursday and Friday my friend Sean Bradley and I and my partner Ali Feeney are gonna turn these (and other colored glass rods) along with some clear furnace glass into color tubes that can't be bought. Browns, tans, pinks, purples and other weird tubes!
Excited to see the calcedony tube! And excited that I am catching Sean's excellent tube pulling abilities before he moves to Oregon.
