Exploring the potential of woven structures through textile making, the exhibition by Angela Kilford and Lisa Munnelly titled Under, Over and Across creates a dialogue between painting, raranga and hand-woven works.
Toi Pōneke Arts Centre and Pop Film are delighted to announce writer - Crosby Allen-Jennings has been selected as the 2026 Wellington Write Room Resident with his project Burnout Days.
Come along to this drop-in style workshop in the gallery with artists - Lisa Munnelly and Angela Kilford to make part of a collaborative raranga artwork. You’ll use off cuts from Lisa’s canvas paintings; that the artists will then teach you to weave, to create a new artwork that will hang in the gallery. This workshop is whānau friendly and would suit anyone interested in working with their hands in a creative way.
Join artists Lisa Munnelly and Angela Kilford as they chat with Caroline McQuarrie about the works in their exhibition Under, Over and Across. Together these artists will discuss techniques of painting and weaving and the interrelation between material, maker and making.
