SUMMARY:Mindfulness Through Art
DESCRIPTION:Using painting as a pathway to mindfulness\, these monthly art workshops explore different themes and techniques to inspire creativity and presence. \n\n\n\nCreating art offers a pathway to a meditative state\, allowing us to experience the profound healing and restorative benefits it provides. Whether you’re an experienced artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years\, everyone is welcome to join this calming and relaxing watercolour art workshop. Here\, the focus is on using art as a tool for self-connection\, embracing the flow of creativity\, and cultivating awareness in the present moment. \n\n\n\nThese workshops invite participants to pause\, observe\, and draw creative inspiration from the world around them—whether through the study of nature\, flowers\, birds\, or the work of inspiring female artists—fostering a sense of curiosity and peace that is often overlooked in our busy lives. \n\n\n\nEach month explores a new theme\, guiding participants on an artistic journey of discovery and creativity while embracing the principles of mindfulness. Through these changing themes\, participants are encouraged to embrace change\, let go of expectations\, and realign with what matters most. Like watercolors flowing on paper\, life unfolds naturally when we allow ourselves to simply be. \n\n\n\nObjective: \n\n\n\nThese sessions are designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment where participants can explore creativity as a pathway to mindfulness. Through art\, they will practice being present\, fostering a deeper connection with themselves and their surroundings. The workshops encourage self-expression\, cultivate a sense of calm\, and offer tools for integrating mindfulness into daily life. \n\n\n\nWhile the primary goal is to provide time and space for mindfulness through art\, there will also be an element of teaching and skill-building. Participants will have the opportunity to acquire and develop watercolor painting techniques by attending regular monthly workshops.  \n\n\n\nWhen and Where: \n\n\n\nSessions will take place once a month. Set in the stunning location of the Hayloft at Horsenden Farm\, Horsenden Lane North\, Perivale\, UB6 7PQ \n\n\n\nBooking: \n\n\n\nSecure your place by booking through eventbrite via link below:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mindfulness-through-art-at-horsenden-farm-tickets-1144213867479?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\nThough these workshops are aimed at adults\, interested older children (aged 12+) can also attend when accompanied with a participating adult.  \n\n\n\nCancellations made 7 days or more in advance of the workshop date will receive a 100% refund. Cancellations made 48hrs in advance will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made thereafter will not receive a refund. \n\n\n\nFor any booking queries please email IDartschool@gmail.com \n\n\n\nA bit about the Artist: \n\n\n\nIsher Dhiman is a London-based mixed media artist\, arts facilitator\, and Associate Lecturer at the London College of Fashion with two decades of experience. Known for her expertise in wet media\, particularly watercolors and inks\, her work is deeply inspired by the human form\, lived experiences\, and emotional expression. Her ever-evolving artistic journey reflects a passion for experimentation and a profound appreciation for the fluidity and magic of watercolors. \n\n\n\nIsher has exhibited her work in London and the USA and has collaborated with prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts\, the Wellcome Collection\, and Kew Gardens to lead workshops that blend creativity and mindfulness. As a tutor at @2bornot2bcollective—a POC-run art collective uplifting POC and visibly marginalized bodies in the arts—she actively fosters inclusivity and empowerment in creative spaces. \n\n\n\nThrough her art and community engagement projects\, Isher aims to inspire positive social change by promoting creativity as a tool for mindfulness\, education\, connection\, and personal growth. Based in London\, she conducts workshops that advocate for the transformative power of artistic expression\, encouraging participants to explore art as a means of self-discovery and celebration. \n\n\n\n@Isherdhiman @IDartschool \n\n\n\nwww.isherdhiman.com

SUMMARY:Forage and Make: Botanical Syrups and Drinks - Charlotte Gordon
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is all about foraging and making – coming together in community to gather\, harvest\, learn and make. It’s designed to give you the skills and confidence to bring wild food and wild medicine into your everyday life. \n\n\n\nAs we move into summer the season shifts to flowers and blossom. Flowers lend themselves well to syrups and drinks.  \n\n\n\nTogether we’ll look at a number of ways to make floral syrups\, from simple syrups to traditional Korean methods. Everyone will make a seasonal preserve to take home\, alongside a number of foraged botanical drinks to test out together. You’ll be given recipes and handouts so you can confidently continue at home.

This is a full day course\, giving you plenty of time to develop and practice new skills. The main focus of the workshop is on process and safe technique\, and by the end of the day the aim is for you to turn a bowl to take home with you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThroughout the day\, tea\, coffee\, and biscuits will be provided. For lunch\, attendees are welcome to bring their own packed meal or purchase something delicious from our very own on-site bakery\, The Horsenden Loaf. \n\n\n\nCourse start and finish times\, along with further information\, will be confirmed closer to the day of the course. \n\n\n\nWhat you will learn \n\n\n\nThe workshop will focus specifically on the following areas: \n\n\n\n\nSuitable British wood for bowl turning\n\n\n\nSelecting appropriate sections of a log for bowl turning\n\n\n\nRoughing out a bowl ‘blank’ using an axe\n\n\n\nSafe and effective axe technique\n\n\n\nMounting the blank on the lathe ready for turning\n\n\n\nUsing hand-forged hook tools to turn your first bowl\n\n\n\nTrimming up\, with instructions on drying and finishing your bowl\n\n\n\n\nPlease note. This can be quite a physically demanding workshop\, so a reasonable level of fitness is required to make sure you get the most out of the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the course leader \n\n\n\nAli Asadi carved his first spoon in 2015 and fell in love with both the process and the techniques of green woodworking. Following lots of self-practice\, attending community carving events and learning opportunities\, Ali was lucky enough to spend some time with pole lathe bowl turners Sharif Adams and Adrian Lloyd\, both well-respected amongst the craft community.Ever since\, Ali has been turning and carving non-stop\, producing hundreds of bowls\, end-grain cups\, and more specialist items including locking lidded boxes\, nested bowls\, as well as his beautiful plates. \n\n\n\nOver the last 5 years\, Ali has been forging his own turning tools\, teaching courses in all things greenwood\, and undertaking demonstrations to communicate the craft to the public at events nationwide and at his own workshop in Stevenage. \n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\, details\, Ts and Cs\nThe woodland workshop is accessed via an uneven woodchipped path. Parking and toilets are available on the farm site\, a few minutes walk from the woodland workshop. \n\n\n\nThe woodland workshop is open-sided but covered by a roof so courses will go ahead in the event of rain. Please come dressed appropriately for the weather. \n\n\n\nIf you need further information before booking please drop us a line on friends@horsenden.org \n\n\n\nCourse Cancellation Policy \n\n\n\nOur courses are led by dedicated craftspeople. To ensure they are fairly compensated for the time\, preparation\, and materials they commit to each course\, we have established the following cancellation policy. We believe it is a fair approach that respects both our attendees and our talented tutors. \n\n\n\nThis policy applies to all course bookings. \n\n\n\nCancellation by You \n\n\n\nTo request a cancellation\, you must notify us in writing via email. The refund amount is determined by the date your cancellation notice is received.Full Refund: Cancellations received more than 3 weeks (21 days) before the scheduled course start date will receive a 100% refund.Partial Refund: Cancellations received between 2 and 3 weeks (14-21 days) before the scheduled course start date will receive a 50% refund.No Refund: Cancellations received less than 2 weeks (fewer than 14 days) before the scheduled course start date are not eligible for a refund. This is because at this late stage it is very difficult to fill the vacant spot\, and we have already committed to our tutors. \n\n\n\nAttendee Substitutions \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend the course\, you are welcome to find a substitute to take your place at any time before the course begins. To do this\, please inform us of the new attendee’s name and contact details via friends@horsenden.org .

SUMMARY:Beginners Frame Basket Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Join basket maker\, Ellie Morgan\, to make a frame basket using traditional materials and techniques in our woodland workshop at Horsenden Farm.         \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn this course\, you will make your own traditional frame basket with Somerset-grown willow using time-honoured techniques. This ancient style of basket is a joy to make and is the perfect way to begin your basketry journey. \n\n\n\nThe course starts at 9:45am and will aim to finish around 4:30pm – enough time to develop and practise new skills. The focus of the workshop is on process and safe technique\, and by the end of the day you’ll have woven a unique basket to take home. \n\n\n\nThroughout the day\, tea\, coffee\, and biscuits will be provided. For lunch\, attendees are welcome to bring their own meal or purchase something delicious from our very own on-site bakery\, The Horsenden Loaf. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\n\n\nThe course will focus on the following areas: \n\n\n\n\nWillow varieties and how to prepare them\n\n\n\nHow to use the tools safely and effectively\n\n\n\nHow to create the frame for your basket\n\n\n\nAdding ribs to create strength and structure \n\n\n\nWeaving techniques and how to finish your basket to make sure it looks good and is strong and useful\n\n\n\n\nPlease note. No previous experience is required as this course is designed for beginners\, but you do need to be 18 or over to take part\, be mobile\, and as basketmaking can be hard on the hands if you have a loss of strength this might not be the craft for you. \n\n\n\nAbout the Course Leader\, Ellie\n\n\n\nEllie is a multi-talented maker – a carver\, a knitter of yarn\, and a dedicated weaver of baskets. While she studied fine art many years ago\, she has always been drawn to using textiles and natural materials to create functional objects. Following a career change\, Ellie is now a highly respected full-time basket maker and greenwood carver. You might have seen her work on stage or screen\, including Netflix’s The Witcher and Lord of the Rings. \n\n\n\nDeeply connected to her materials\, if Ellie hasn’t made it\, she has likely grown it on her allotment in South West London; this includes some home grown basketry willow. Ellie is a Yeoman of the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers as well as being their Trade Advisor\,  a member of the Basketry Association and the Association of Pole Lathe Turners and Green Woodworkers. She has a relaxed\, knowledgeable teaching style and loves sharing her skills at markets\, fairs\, and workshops. Her students consistently leave her sessions happy with both their new skills and their finished creations. \n\n\n\nAbout the venue\n\n\n\nAll our greenwood workshops take place at our woodland workshop. This is a covered wooden framed outdoor venue in a private area at Horsenden Farm\, with more than enough room to keep everyone covered. This is a short walk from the main entrance\, toilets and car park. \n\n\n\nPlease note the paths to the workshop and the workshop floor are uneven and woodchipped so unfortunately the space is not currently suitable for people with limited mobility. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, drop us a line at friends@horsenden.org \n\n\n\nCancellation policy\nCancellation by You \n\n\n\nTo request a cancellation\, you must notify us in writing via email at friends@horsenden.org. The refund amount is determined by the date your cancellation notice is received. \n\n\n\n\nFull Refund: Cancellations received more than 3 weeks (21 days) before the scheduled course start date will receive a 100% refund (minus payment processing fees)\n\n\n\nPartial Refund: Cancellations received between 2 and 3 weeks (14-21 days) before the scheduled course start date will receive a 50% refund.\n\n\n\nNo Refund: Cancellations received less than 2 weeks (fewer than 14 days) before the scheduled course start date are not eligible for a refund. This is because at this late stage it is very difficult to fill the vacant spot\, and we have already committed costs to our tutors.\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Substitutions \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend the course\, you are welcome to find a substitute to take your place at any time before the course begins. \n\n\n\nTo do this\, please inform us of the new attendee’s name and contact details. Once the substitute attendee has completed their booking and payment\, we will process a 100% refund of your original course fee. \n\n\n\nCancellation by Us \n\n\n\nIn the unlikely event that we need to cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances\, we will provide you with as much notice as possible. You will be offered the choice of either: \n\n\n\n\nA full refund of your course fee\n\n\n\nA transfer to an alternative course date\, subject to availability\n\n\n\n\nThank you for your understanding and for supporting our craftspeople.

SUMMARY:Foraging course - Totally Wild
DESCRIPTION:(This course is with Totally Wild UK\, please visit their website to book) \n\n\n\n“Get ready for an adventure with a Totally Wild UK professional forager on our Forage and Cookery Course at Horsenden Hill in London! Join us on a journey to learn about the hidden world of wild edibles that surrounds us. And that’s not all! Enjoy a delicious wild food meal that will inspire you to pick up your foraging basket for your next adventure. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect on the Forage and Cookery Course in London\n\n\n\nThe foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours\, giving you ample time to learn about foraging\, explore the area\, and enjoy a wild food meal! \n\n\n\nYou will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants\, including their edible\, medicinal\, and herbal uses. \n\n\n\nThe foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants\, fruits\, fungi\, seaweeds\, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location\, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk\, and the season\, but they’ll always be epic. \n\n\n\nDuring the day\, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items\, including syrups\, flavored salts\, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavors that nature has to offer. \n\n\n\nFollowing the foraging expedition\, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session\, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.  \n\n\n\nPast meals have included dishes like: \n\n\n\n** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls  \n\n\n\n** Elderflower Eton Mess \n\n\n\n** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad \n\n\n\n** Dandelion Root Crumb\, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup \n\n\n\nAfter the event\, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day\, including harvesting tips\, edibility and the best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets. The email will also include recipes from the lunch you enjoyed\, so you can recreate the magic at home!  \n\n\n\nWHAT TO BRING \n\n\n\n\nSuitable clothing for the predicted weather\, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles.\n\n\n\nSturdy footwear\, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration.\n\n\n\nA drink\, as some wild flavors may be strong\, and it’s advisable to have water for the day.\n\n\n\nSnacks for the foraging walk\, as lunch will be served around 2/3pm.\n\n\n\nA pad or paper if you wish to take notes.\n\n\n\nA blanket or chair for the communal meal\, as seating options may vary depending on the venue.\n\n\n\nYour own bowl & cutlery if you wish to use yours\n\n\n\n\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION \n\n\n\nYou can inform us of any dietary requirements or medical conditions during the booking process\, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. However\, we may not be able to cater for severe allergies. \n\n\n\nCourse details\, including the specific meeting location and an introduction to your forager\, will be sent via email on the Monday before the event. Ensure you check your inbox (and junk folder) for these details. \n\n\n\nThe foraging experience is dependent on seasonal availability\, so what you see and eat may vary from season to season and location to location. \n\n\n\nChildren are welcome\, and children under 12 can attend for free with one ticketed adult.
