Come on a journey through Romania with Irina Georgescu and get to know Romanian cuisine in three traditional dishes. You’ll bake cheese pies called merdenele and learn to make a type of very thin dough specific to the southern and eastern regions of the country. To go with them, you’ll make a ciorbă de salată, lettuce soup served with a sliced omelette. For the main course, you’ll make a quick pepper and tomato stew, tocană, served with cornmeal dumplings. Bring containers to take any extra portions home with you. All dishes are vegetarian but not vegan.

The class is not suitable for children under 12. Must be accompanied by an adult.

Mending, a workshop where you will be able to explore and learn different ways of mending your well loved items. Holes in knitwear or rips in jeans! Working with darning, patching and only the use of hand stitch to reinforce your pieces and give them new life. Please bring along any damaged items of clothing that you would like to discuss repair options for and we can work on the best solution for your item. Materials will be provided and no previous experience is necessary. 

The workshop is open for 4 hours so feel free to drop in at any time, there will be some refreshments available to enjoy.

Through drawing, experience a deep state of presence, awareness, calm and clarity. Using gentle meditation, breathwork & drawing exercises, we will deepen our connection to the season, one another and, ultimately, to ourselves.

We will utilise drawing as a tool for self reflection. The materials we use, our bodies, the subject matter and nature are all conduits towards heightening our awareness and cultivating a deep state of presence and flow. The practice encourages you to free yourself from any constraints you may feel around outcome, perfection or judgement. These are tools for liberation.

It is open to all, no experience is necessary. 

The school offers drum classes for babies and toddlers in a fun, play-orientated environment.

The first part of the workshop will involve a show and tell where you will get to play on a wide variety of drums and percussion instruments. We’ll also play some brightly decorated bucket drums with neon rubber drumsticks, exploring different beats and styles together. The second half is craft-based where you will be shown how to make your very own miniature drum/shaker that you can take home. 

Both sessions are designed for children 0-5. Older children and siblings are welcome, but need to book a separate space.
