We meet in the Newman Building, named in honour of Dorothy and Stanley Newman whose generous bequest enabled a space to be built for our diverse community to develop and practise their creativity. The rooms are comfortable, well-equipped and warm in winter and are easily accessible with a wheelchair ramp and a lift to the upper floors.

We have a fully equipped kitchen with a continuous hot water Zip, microwave, fridge and oven. Tea, coffee and milk are provided for the use of all visitors, and many groups develop a roster for morning or afternoon tea during their classes or sessions.

We have painting easels, water jars and spare palettes as well as dryers for the painters. Two printing presses and a book press for print and bookmakers. For the fibre artists, quilters and sewers we have ironing boards, irons, cutting mats/tables and rulers, as well as looms, tapestry frames and spinning wheels. We also have a projector and laptop that can be booked by any group for use on the premises.

There is an extensive library upstairs in Room 4 from which members can borrow books for a month at a time.

We are a not-for-profit charitable organisation, based in Wellington's western suburbs. Members elect a committee to oversee our activities that are run by our Centre Manager on a day-to-day basis.

We support like-minded creative groups such as Wellington Quilters Guild and Wellington Embroidery Guild, with venue hire for their activities.

Karori Arts & Crafts happily accepts donations of art materials of usable quality, clean fabrics of usable quantities, yarn of all types, and other art and crafts materials.

Donated materials may be used at the Centre for classes and workshops, added to our "Free Table" for anyone to take, sold on TradeMe as a donation to Karori Arts & Crafts Centre, or passed on to another charitable organization.

Our members use donated materials to make quilts for the Women's Refuge, cot blankets for the Nest Collective, slippers for school children, as well as a myriad of personal projects.
If you have questions about donations, please don't hesitate to contact us.
