The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora, Worcester Boulevard, Christchur­ch Resourcefu­l craft and green woodworkin­g are to the fore with social enterprise Rekindle’s new presence in the restored western end of the Arts Centre. Rekindle previously transforme­d earthquake­related demolition waste into furniture and useful wares, and now promotes sustainabl­e, traditiona­l craft through workshops – from stool-making to harakeke weaving and string-making with cabbage-tree leaves. Rekindle recently crafted a communal table and benches for the historic Boys’ High building using ash logs from Hagley Park destined for wood chipping. rekindle.org.nz, artscentre.org.nz
