In "Sweet As", an installation featuring intensely coloured giant pieces of popcorn.
Opening and Artist's Talk Saturday 1st May 2010 at 1.30pm.
Madeline Child gained inspiration while buying her children coloured popcorn. Madeline was"...fascinated by its fleshy gorgeousness, organic fecundity and forbidden fruitness:. The exhibition is designed to be a sensory experience offering multiple readings from childish delight to the more sickly consideration of calorie counting, globalisation, fool miles and corn wars - comfort food causing discomfort. Madeline CHild specialises in contemporary ceramic techniques.
Since receiving a ceramics certificate from Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin in 1978, Madeline has pursued the study of ceramic and glass in New York, Lisbon, and London where she received a Masters from the Royal College of Art and an Advanced Studies 3D degree from Central St Martins College of Art. She has since returned to where she began and has lectured at Otago Polytechnic School of Design since 1997. Madeline's extensive training and travel can be seen technically and conceptually in her work whether reflecting the distinctive colour and vibrancy of Mexican pottery or the playfulness in faux chocolate Easter bunnies. Her work evokes a sense of sentimentality that is, at times, countered with darker intonations.
Dates: 01 May 2010 - 13 Jun 2010
Time: Open daily 10.00am to 4.00pm
Venue: Ashburton Art Gallery

Top clothing label in town for fashion show
By Mick Jensen
Top New Zealand clothing label The Carpenters Daughter (TCD) will be showcasing its wares at what is being dubbed Ashburton’s fashion event of the year.
TCD’s top designer Caroline Marr will be at June 12 event at the Hotel Ashburton and with her a temporary shop of clothes and accessories.
Fashion aficionados are encouraged to come along.
“Our clothes cater for all ages, but middle aged women like to wear them and we will be using women from Ashburton and Methven to model on the runway on the night,” said TCD Christchurch store manager Rachelle Varnham.
“We will work with base pieces and change them from day to evening wear to show how to make the most from your wardrobe,” she said.
Accessories, an essential part of a woman’s wardrobe will be also used creatively.
TCD focuses on New Zealand made clothes for “women with curves” and are made for sizes 12-24.
The company has six stores around the country and was the first ever “plus size” label invited to show at New Zealand Fashion Week.
“We broke new ground at fashion week and now we are coming to show ladies in Ashburton what we do and how we do it,” said Rachelle Varnham.
Tickets costing $10 are available from TCD in Christchurch and locally from Twelve Wine Lounge, Madison Hair Studio, Unichem Pharmacy and Ice House Gallery, Methven.
The doors open at 6.00pm.

Join us for coffee and discussion at the Ashburton Art Gallery following The Last Station.
The Last Station - In 1910, acclaimed Russina novelist Leo Tolstoy, in the later stage of his life, works rather than a writer but as the leader of the Tolstoyan Movement, whose basic tenets are brotherly love and world peace through pacifism, and a denouncement of material wealth and physical love. His cheif follower is Vladimir Chertkov, who does whatever he requires to advance the cause. Chertkov hires a young man named Valentin Bulgakov to be Tolstoy's personal secretary in carrying out this work. Once ensconced in the life on the estate where much of the work is taking place, Bilgakov quickly learns that many there take from the movement only what he/she wants/believes. Also cheif amongst the movement's wants is the deeding of all Tolstoy's writings to the people so after his death it will become public domain. Tolstoy's wife, the Countess Sofya Andreevna Tolstoy, believes that her husband's writings are rightfully hers after he passes, as she wants and believes she deserves the monetary benefits derived from such. This places a strain between those in the movement, especially Chertov and Tolstoy's daughter Sasha, and the Countess. Bulgatov acts as the mediator between the parties, he who feels he needs to do what is truly in Tolstoy's heart regardless of what Tolstoy may say or do....starring Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, James McAvoy and Paul Giamatti.

The competition begins on Friday 25 June Tinwald Tavern, Friday 2 July Hotel Ashburton, Friday 9 July The Shed and Saturday 24 July Brown Pub Methven.
Up to 30 competitors will take part at each pub. Each competitor shears one sheep and the top three in the two grades go through to the finals the same evening. The grand final will be held at the Brown Pub in Methven.
A small pen with 10 sheep is set up inside the pub and as each competitor goes onto the stage a sheep is passed up to them. The average shearing time per sheep is 30 seconds.
The main provider of the open-face crossbred lambs is Chris Mears, Winslow Farm.
The commentators, Rocky Bull and Norm Harraway, will add humour and momentum to the occasion.
