Eastcape Art
Based in Gisborne, EastcapeART is a fantastic way to spend the day! They run workshops for all kinds of art (aimed at beginner to the more advanced) and for the past 2 years have hosted the Gisborne Working Artfest.

Their website shows you the workshops they run and you can book online.
