By the end of my mosaic workshop, you will have decorated a simple 15cm square ceramic tile with a variety of vintage crockery, beads, shells, glass beads, vitreous glass and buttons, all of which I will supply. I also provide plenty of reference books for you to browse for ideas, and get some inspiration for your design. Over the course of the workshop we will cover the following: • Planning your piece Selecting a pattern, choosing colour, form and texture • Tools and Techniques Using nippers to cut and shape the crockery for application and glueing • Creating your Masterpiece Applying your chosen materials to your design and creating your unique finished piece. There will be a grouting demonstration at the end of the session for you to grout your tile at home. Information sheet and grout supplied. Refreshments on arrival and a light lunch half way through the workshop included. Previous experience of making mosaics is not required for this workshop but if you are already familiar with the process, there is plenty of scope to improve your skills by making a 3 dimensional piece. If you cannot see a date or time that suits you, please contact me to organise an alternative day.

We will meet at the St. Mary's Gate of Greenwich Park and find a nice spot in the park together. We will sit on a picnic mat and I will give an introduction about the winemaking and wine tasting process. I will then proceed to share about today's tasting theme, which may be reds, whites, sparkling or a specific winemaking region. In total, we will taste from 3 bottles of wine which you can bring home at the end of the tasting. Tasting notes, cheese and nibbles will be provided. I will also share about the appropriate pairing of food and the wines that we will be tasting that day. Throughout the tasting, I will be more than happy to take beautiful pictures of you and your party to capture the special moment. We will then spend the rest of the time drinking and chatting about wine or anything under the sun as we enjoy the picturesque scenery of Greenwich Park. After our picnic, I will then bring everyone to one of my favourite local wine shops in London which is nearby and I can assist everyone in picking out a few bottles home. Other things to note: 1) Even though nibbles will be provided, we recommend guests not to come with an empty stomach. 2) Other venues such as Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath are available upon request.

Star the pony and I will meet you at our meeting point where we will carry out introductions and cover safety tips, before we head off for the walk. We will walk up the lane and through the fields, going at the ponies pace and allowing them to browse on the plants in the hedgerows. We’ll also collect cuttings and weeds to take back with us for their pony friends (in season only). You will learn about wild plants and trees and how they benefit the ponies diet, plus more about pony care and behaviour. We will finish the walk back at the pony field where you will brush their coats and manes and tails, before turning them back out to the field. We serve a cold drink and slice of cake for you to enjoy whilst watching the ponies graze surrounded by beautiful scenery. You will be able to really get to know the ponies as individuals and see their different characters and personalities. With a calm and gentle approach, it won’t take long before they are queueing up for a scratch from you. Other things to note This is a leisurely walk that is perfect for animal lovers. If you cannot see a date or time that suits you, please contact me to request another date. All children must be accompanied by an adult. No open toed shoes or sandals. The ponies cannot be ridden, this is for walking and grooming only. Only one child under the age of 6 per group for safety.
