Do it yourself gifts
Who? The New Zealand Fashion Museum in conjunction with the K Rd Christmas Fiesta.

What? A free creative workshop, led by textile artist Susan Holmes, in which you will learn simple printing techniques and make a piece with supplied materials.

"We had such a lovely response to Susan Holmes' print work in the Age of Aquarius exhibition that we persuaded her to come and show us how to print. It is incredibly easy to do and not nearly as messy as screen printing and much more flexible," explains NZ Fashion Museum's curator Doris de Pont.

When? Saturday December 14, 10am and 2pm.

Where? Bread and Butter Letter, 225 K Rd. Limited spaces available - book your spot by emailing planning@kroad.com.

Why? Get creative for a thoughtful Christmas gift.

• Other events in the K Rd Christmas Fiesta include corset-fitting workshops and Day of the Dead face painting. For the full list see kroad.com.
