Our property is located in the beautiful Wairarapa, about an hour out of Wellington. We have renovated stables to create an art and mosaic studio. I (Zelda) am a Mosaic Artist from South Africa and my husband Matt is a Kiwi. We live in a 2 storey house which we renovated over the years and we share it with Alfred the cat who is the king of the castle.

We have space for up to 5 helpers which creates a social atmosphere and an opportunity to meet people from different cultures. I am South African and Matt is Kiwi and we like to share our culture with others.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
I am in the process of restructuring my mosaic studio so I need people who can help me with mosaics from time to time. I could also use some help with computer and social media to promote the upcoming event we are organising as a fundraiser for Life Flight Rescue Helicopter Service (non-profit organisation).
In December and January we are looking for people with the following skills: carpentry, painting. Additionally, if you like art, then we can always work on lots of Mosaic Art projects together.
