Creative Foraging Workshops / Maria x Ruby

All workshops run from 2pm - 5pm

After such a beautiful first series last autumn, we’re here to share even more knowledge that we’ve found over years!

For these creative foraging sessions, we'll delve even deeper into our immediate environment, exploring our inner-city green spaces and find new ways to connect with wild medicine, food and craft.

Each session will include a guided foraging walk and an introduction to a range of craft and wild medicine making skills that you can build on throughout the year, leaving each session with knowledge to share with others.

Come with us, we’ll show you how to: Practice reciprocal and sustainable foraging, blend wild medicinal tinctures, glycerites, oxymels, syrups, balms, and infused oils and vinegars, make cordage, weave baskets, make your own paper, collect and spread seeds, carve your own rubber stamps for labels, find and identify mushrooms and plants with confidence, sketch and journal – all as ways to embed knowledge and learn new ways of caring for our communities!
