💜 Cottage Companion Workshop: Crafting Herbal Treasures Together
Step into my stillroom — a small Tudor-style space lined with herbs, bottles, and old apothecary charm — and spend two gentle hours crafting remedies and treasures with your own hands.
This is a workshop for 1–2 people, held in my cottage near Leatherhead. Together, we’ll share stories, scent, and making, while the apothecary cabinet and oak beams watch over us.
What You Might Make (choose two):
✨ A soft body butter for skin and senses
✨ A healing herbal salve, made with infused oils and beeswax
✨ A scented candle, hand-poured and botanically dressed
✨ A herbal tincture or spiced vinegar, drawn from the season’s plants
✨ A floral water, made with petals and memory
Each guest chooses two items to make and take home. Ingredients and tools are provided, along with tea and a little sweetness from the stillroom.
🌿 Perfect for: curious beginners, plant lovers, or anyone craving a quiet, companionable escape.
🌿 Includes: all materials, your finished creation, and light refreshments.
🌿 Duration: 2 hours
🌿 For: 1–2 people
🌿 Exchange: £55 per person
🌿 Location: my home apothecary in Bookham, Surrey (near Leatherhead). Exact address provided upon booking
Bring only your curiosity and open hands 🌼A table of herbs and bottles is waiting, ruffles and laughter included.
🌞 This is a soft, fragrant invitation to pause — to stir balm, light a candle, and return to the beauty of making something with your hands.
