Whether you’re interested in traditional crafts or sustainable living, this thoughtful workshop offers a perfect introduction to natural brush making. Your expert tutor Monica Heeran, a Lambeth-based forager and basket maker, will share her wealth of knowledge in a supportive environment.
You’ll learn how to identify and responsibly gather traditional brush-making materials, understanding which natural fibres work best for different purposes. Working with these organic materials, you’ll master the techniques needed to construct a brush that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
The slow, intentional nature of brush making offers a wonderfully meditative experience. As you learn to bind and shape your natural materials, you’ll develop a deeper appreciation for sustainable crafting. You’ll leave the session with your own handcrafted brush or broom, plus the knowledge to continue this environmentally conscious craft at home.
