A group of Wanganui artists is encouraging Christmas shoppers to buy local this year.
Jeweller Frances Stachl, Emma Camden from Tree, Frances Sim-Higgins from Left Bank Art Supplies and Katie Brown and Lyndsay Patterson from Chronicle Glass will all be opening this Sunday for those wanting to do some last-minute Christmas shopping.
Although they're not officially part of the River City Christmas Market - running from 2 to 5pm on Sunday - they're an arts and craft "add-on" to the market.
"We're providing a little bit extra to the market," Ms Stachl said.
All four businesses operate on or around Taupo Quay. Ms Stachl offers her quirky hand-made jewellery from her riverside workshop on Moutoa Quay, where visitors can make a purchase or watch Ms Stachl work.
