Do some art together in Dargaville, West Coast, New Zealand

  Descrição

  Where I am Located: Welcome to Dargaville! My home is a beautiful kauri cottage right on the riverfront, just a 5-minute walk to local shops.
  If you love nature, I am just a 12-minute drive from New Zealand's longest drivable beach, and 45 minutes from our stunning ancient Kauri forests and lakes.
  About Me & The Exchange:
  
  Hi! My name is Mandy Wood. I am a Christian lady, counsellor, and artist. I love hosting and have been welcoming WWOOFers and volunteers into my home for over 15 years.
  .As a thank you for your help, I will happily teach you stained glass jewellery and sea glass jewellery skills, and you'll get to make a beautiful piece to take home with you!
  
  Your Accommodation:You will stay in my cosy kauri cottage with me. Your bedroom is freshly decorated with a comfortable double bed (check out the photos!). We share the household chores, so we will cook and clean up together as a team.
  
  We have Wi-Fi available for your everyday needs like emails, messaging, and YouTube (we just ask to avoid massive file downloads).
  I also have two goofy, lovable poodles who can’t wait to meet you!
  
  The Fun Projects (How You Can Help): I am looking for responsible, energetic, and social people to help me artistically "funk up" my community arts barn therapy gallery space and herb gardens.
  It is a non-profit space free for the public, and it’s just too much work for me to do alone!
  
  I would love your help with: Creative Art: Painting fun, simple, large designs on the fence - think Van Gogh, Monet, or fun animal graffiti style or cutting out and painting big tin animals.
  Gallery Setup: Helping me dust, mop, and prep the art barn (usually takes about a day), and then arranging the furniture, tables, and art equipment
  .Basic Tech Support: Helping me take some nice photos of the space and setting up a simple, basic 2-page website (one page for photos, one page for the address/info).
  
  Transport & Logistics: Dargaville has a weekday bus service to and from Whangarei (Monday to Friday). There are also connecting buses from Auckland to Whangarei. On some days, I drive out to Whangarei myself and may be able to pick you up.
  
  Please note: For everyone’s peace of mind and safety, I host a drug-free, sober household, and I kindly ask to see a passport ID upon arrival.
  
  As this is a volunteer exchange for a community non-profit gallery, please note that no financial payment is provided or charged for your stay and lessons.
