Behind closed doors... Perhaps a little voyeuristic, perhaps just curiously interested, or even downright nosey. Whatever the motivation...it’s your opportunity to prise open the doors to 16 unique collections and creative spaces from Katikati to Waihi Beach tomorrow – and crash the fascinating
lives of those inside. It’s Katch Katikati’s Sheds & Studios Ramble tomorrow, Saturday, April 29, and the sheds and studios will be open from 9am and 3pm to have a nosey. There are restored vintage engines, a hot rod shop, military vehicles, a batik studio, various
artists and a club preparing for a dark day. They make their own coffins. And there’s Brian Barton (pictured), a man with a feel for wood. “Always been keen on wood.” So keen he built a bloke’s shed the size of two new houses slap bang in the middle of Katikati’s light industry
belt on Main Rd. “I spend a good part of my day in the shed.” He’s throwing open his massive shed doors for the Sheds & Studios Ramble tomorrow. He’d love to share his story with you. Get a sneak peek on page 6. Photo: John Borren.
