Introducing our Dynamic Sports Instructor ~ Tom

Yikes is privileged to have the burgeoning expertise of Tom Dasler on board in the holiday programme everyday. 21 year old Tom also takes sports/fitness sessions in our after school programme. Tom is currently studying at the Nelson Marlbrough Institute of Technology doing the Diploma in Applied fitness Course. "I have a strong interest in sports and fitness and always enjoy being in the outdoors  and being active and encouraging others to get involved.

Contemporary Jewellery Design

We are privileged to have on board the talents and giftings of artisan Kim Brice - contemporary jewellery. Kim has recently returned from living in Stockholm to his hometown of Nelson and has a small gallery shop called Cubicle on 6 Nile Street. I asked Kim to write me a piece on what he and the children did in the holidays at the Yikes Holiday programme. I was so interested in what he wrote I had to share it with you: I talked briefly about contemporary jewellery, the difference between traditional and jewellery of today,I showed some of Lisa Walkers pieces in her new book, Unwearable jew eller y, plus some images of jewellery by Warwick Freeman and  Karl Fritsch .
