You may know how important honey bees are for pollinating food crops and the environment, but you may not know about the amazing life of bees in their hive. In this short course you will gain insight into the life of a honey bee colony, and understand what beekeeping involves.

During this workshop you will learn in a hands-on way about the life of a honey bee colony, exploring the ins and outs of a hive and running through the stages of hive activity through the year.
A demonstration hive will allow you to also experience the textures and smells of the inside of a hive.

We will talk through the equipment needed to keep bees, and for those who are thinking about it, talk through steps to keeping your own bees.
After refreshments, we will be pulling on protective bee gear, and gaining some hands on experience with the Make Hamilton bee hives. You will have the opportunity to hold a frame of live bees, and gain confidence in handling a colony.
All equipment/ protective bee suits will be provided, but please come wearing long sleeved tops, full length trousers and closed shoes (i.e. no sandals).

Through the session, we will talk about the products from the hive, and you will have the chance to experience these including honey combs and extracted wax.
Each person will leave with a jar of our Hamilton Honey.
The session is led by John, who started keeping bees over 15 years ago, and is responsible for looking after the hives at Make Hamilton.

Looking for a unique and enriching experience that combines the best of forest school and herbalism?
Each workshop is structured like a forest school experience, with a focus on learning through play and exploration. You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural world and learn about the different plants and herbs that grow in your local environment. You’ll discover how to identify different plants, learn about their medicinal properties and uses, and explore ways to incorporate them into your daily life for greater health and wellbeing.

In addition to the hands-on learning opportunities, our workshop series also includes reflective exercises designed to help you deepen your connection with nature whilst living in an urban area.
Whether you’re a seasoned herbalist or just starting to explore the world of nature connection and herbalism, our workshop series is the perfect opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Herbal Forest School is a four-part series for adults, held in the community garden at Make Hamilton. The focus of the workshops is to explore the natural environment in an urban context.
Each session is stand alone, but where possible attendees should commit to all four sessions as every week we will build upon themes from the previous week. However, we do not want this to be a barrier, so please get in touch if you are unable to attend all sessions.
The sessions will be held outdoors so please bring along a coat as we cannot guarantee the sunshine (but it’s all part of the experience!).
Herbal teas will be available during the sessions and attendees will have access to Make Hamilton Squares facilities which are fully accessible throughout the sessions.

Eco-resin Terrazzo: Make your own pair of coasters, Mothers Day Edition!
2023-03-19 14:00 - 17:00 | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
During this session, you will learn how to make your own terrazzo coasters! You will have the option to make a pair of round or square coasters and we will teach you how to achieve any colour terrazzo chips and/or coaster base you want. At the end of the session, your coasters will be ready to take home.

The workshop will be running for approximately 3 hours and will be broken down in 3 parts with a 30 minutes break in between each, which will allow your creations to dry as well as provide us with the opportunity for a short natter over some complimentary refreshments.
This Mother’s Day afternoon session includes coffee and tea as well as special afternoon tea snacks. A small on-site bar will be available to purchase more drinks should you wish to.
Aurélie, our resident terrazzo extraordinaire and founder of Aura Living, will teach you all there is to know about eco-resin material, its different applications, and show you some other homeware accessory examples she has been making using this great material.

A little more about Aurélie:
“With a working background as an interior designer, I began my journey with ceramics about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, during the first lockdown, I was no longer able to access the pottery studio which made me research other crafts and activities I could practice from home. This is when I discovered the world of Jesmonite and its endless possibilities. I first purchased a DIY kit to try it for myself and I feel in love with the process, the ease of use and little requirement for specialised equipment or space. As a designer, my imagination exploded with the prospect of all the ideas I could materialise using this material. I am now so excited to be sharing my knowledge of this product for you to discover and try out a new craft skill.”

A note about the class:
The class may not be suitable for people who have any hands or wrists problems as the process requires hand sanding and polishing.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit of water splashed. The material used will wash off, but avoid wearing your best clothes!

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?
If you find that you cannot attend then you are welcome to pass your place on to a friend who may find it useful. Please let the organiser know if you need to do this.
Alternatively tickets can be transferred to a future event up to 14 days before the event.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No, a register will be taken at the workshop, it isn’t necessary to print your ticket.
What is the refund/cancellation policy?
Refunds will be offered in the event of the class being cancelled – in this instance we will give as much notice as possible, usually at least 5 days, and offer alternative dates if appropriate.
This class does have a minimum requirement of ticket sales to proceed, so there is a possibility of it being cancelled, but we will contact you five days before if this is the case.
If for any reason you find you are unable to attend then please get in touch and a refund can be offered up to 7 days before the workshop.
This is because we pay our practitioners fair wages for their work- giving refunds on last minute cancellations would mean that practitioners would not be paid for the preparation they have put into their classes.
