It was a lot of fun meeting Metropol Magazine editor Nina to tell our story 🩶 thank you so much x
Look out! The latest Metropol is hitting the streets and it's eye-conic! We're all about getting creative in this issue - we bring you interviews with local artists, the talented Ellie Compton - Artist, as well wine-making artistry, the unstoppable Kim Schofield of Dancing Water Winery, while the mesmerising (mesmer-eye-sing? ) cover is by local designer and muralist Jessie Rawcliffe, you can find the real thing in Cathedral Square, it's part of the 'Gazer' series and asks questions like, who's watching the watchers?
In this issue, you can also... discover the four (that's right, FOUR) film festivals coming to town in the next couple of months; read about deputy editor Tamara Pitelen's 10-day silent meditation retreat; discover the efforts of the Hawarden-Waikari community to keep their ancestors remembered; get inspired for having a crafty winter; revel in your fashion obsession for leopard print everything (or is it just us?), and get dinner sorted dinner with a delicious salmon recipe followed by apple crumble and chia pudding.
Have a read, let us know what you like and what you want more of, we're here for you Canterbury. Have a goodie!
