1 - 3pm
Travel has a way of awakening our senses: the rhythms of an unfamiliar town, the colours and the detail of a new place. Travel journaling is a beautiful way to capture those moments. Instead of simply taking photos, you can slow down, observe, and translate what you see and feel into expressive pages filled with colour and personal notes.
In this relaxed and welcoming workshop, Elena will guide you through some techniques that make it easy to add watercolour art to your journal. The focus is on creative exploration rather than perfection, making it a wonderful practice for beginners and experienced creatives alike.
During the class you’ll learn:
- Techniques for working with ink and watercolour
- How to create artwork in small, portable notebooks
- Tips for art on the move - sketching and painting wherever inspiration strikes
Together we’ll create a festival-inspired journal page using colours, shapes, and small sketches to capture the atmosphere of the New Zealand Festival of Christmas. You’ll then be able to take your page home and add your own reflections and words about your experience in Greytown. This can be the beginning of a travel journal that grows with every trip you take.
This workshop is suitable for creative souls at all levels. Everyone is welcome.
Included in the workshop:
- Traveler’s Company Watercolour Paper Notebook (value $11.90)
- MD Drawing Pen – Black 0.3 (value $9.90)
- Blackwing Natural Pencil (value $7.90)
- Watercolour dot cards for you to use on the day and take home
All you need to bring is your curiosity and a willingness to explore the world through your own creative lens.

Makes a difference but maybe only to caffeine addled coffee snobs
Color: Black
I won't say that everyone urgently needs one of these. This is helped me up my game. Perhaps not absolutely necessary, but it noticeably reduces canalization and improves extraction. And it appears to have improved not only my espresso, but my pour-overs and my Mokapot (especially the Mokapot!). It's a little fiddley to assemble - there's sets of springs and needles - but once you get it all locked down, its very tight. There's a set of spares - I can't imagine needing them. The tool kinda sits in the weighted base, but it appears to stay put in my cabinet.

WDT Tool: The Needle in My Espresso Haystack
Color: Black, Color: Black
I kind of went down a deep dive researching these WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tools, and I have to say, this one hits the sweet spot! The needle size is just right, and the shape is spot on for what I need. Plus, it’s a nice perk that you can remove and replace the needles. I’ve tried using needles and bobby pins in the past, but they were too thick and just ended up creating their own channels—talk about a brewing disaster!
Now, here’s the twist: even though it comes with seven needles installed (and more replacements), I find it a bit overkill. With all those needles, it just traps the grinds in the center, pushing stuff around like it’s playing a game of “don’t let the coffee escape.” So, I stick with just three needles in a triangle formation for optimal distribution. Pro tip: don’t forget to adjust the depth as you use it to ensure you’re getting the best coverage of your coffee grounds!
The build quality is actually pretty impressive. It feels like well-constructed metal components that could survive a small espresso war. Plus, it's more affordable than some of those fancy options out there—because who needs a second mortgage for great coffee?
It looks quite nice on my counter, and the little stand is a handy extra touch.
Overall, if you’re looking to up your espresso game and avoid the chaos of uneven distribution, this WDT tool is worth considering. Just remember: less is sometimes more when it comes to needles!

Easy to use and affordable - great value for money!
Color: Black
I recently purchased the Nessus WDT Espresso distribution tool and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. Assembling it was a breeze, and it came with extra needles which is always a plus. The tool is easy to clean, which is important to me because I like to keep my equipment in top condition. The price was very fair compared to other similar products on the market, making it an even better value for money.
One thing that really stood out to me was the brush that collects the coffee grounds. It's incredibly easy to clean, which makes maintenance a breeze. I've had my share of espresso machines in the past, and I can tell you that this one is a keeper. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality distribution tool at an affordable price
