Intro to Beekeeping: Honey Harvesting
2022-09-10 14:00 - 16:00 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
This workshop will take you step by step through the honey extraction process on our working hives in the Make Hamilton community garden.

About this event

The bees at Make Hamilton have been working hard over the summer months, gathering nectar and pollen and building up stores of honey in their hives. The honey will be harvested at the end of summer, and this workshop gives you the opportunity to experience the harvesting first-hand.

The workshop is split into two parts. First, we will introduce you to how a hive works, and how the bees store their honey. We will talk through the cycle of honey production, and the life of a colony through a typical year. We’ll pull on beekeeping veils and head outside where you’ll have the chance to look inside a hive to see the bees working on their honeycomb.
In the second part of the workshop we will return indoors to experience the process of extracting honey by spinning honeycomb frames. You will handle honeycombs, and experience the smells and stickiness that go with that! You’ll get to use the extractor, and watch the honey being spun out of the frames then collected for bottling.

The session is very interactive, and will respond to the questions and interests of participants. The session is led by John, who has kept bees for many years, and is the resident beekeeper at Make.
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).

FAQs:
Do I need any experience prior to the class?
No prior experience is necessary, all health and safety will be taught by our experienced technician.

Intro to Beekeeping: Honey Harvesting
2022-09-10 10:00 - 12:00 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
This workshop will take you step by step through the honey extraction process on our working hives in the Make Hamilton community garden.

About this event

The bees at Make Hamilton have been working hard over the summer months, gathering nectar and pollen and building up stores of honey in their hives. The honey will be harvested at the end of summer, and this workshop gives you the opportunity to experience the harvesting first-hand.

The workshop is split into two parts. First, we will introduce you to how a hive works, and how the bees store their honey. We will talk through the cycle of honey production, and the life of a colony through a typical year. We’ll pull on beekeeping veils and head outside where you’ll have the chance to look inside a hive to see the bees working on their honeycomb.
In the second part of the workshop we will return indoors to experience the process of extracting honey by spinning honeycomb frames. You will handle honeycombs, and experience the smells and stickiness that go with that! You’ll get to use the extractor, and watch the honey being spun out of the frames then collected for bottling.

The session is very interactive, and will respond to the questions and interests of participants. The session is led by John, who has kept bees for many years, and is the resident beekeeper at Make.
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).

FAQs:
Do I need any experience prior to the class?
No prior experience is necessary, all health and safety will be taught by our experienced technician.

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 7 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.

Terrazzo Arch Tray: Level 2 Terrazzo Workshop
2022-07-16 14:00 - 18:00 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
Using the skills you learnt in the level 1 session (Terrazzo Coasters: Level 1 Terrazzo Workshop), this time we will create a bigger piece!

About this event

Terrazzo Arch Tray: Level 2 Terrazzo Workshop
During this session, you will make a terrazzo-pattern arch display tray, using an eco-resin material called Jesmonite. Using the skills you learnt in the level 1 session (Terrazzo Coasters: Level 1 Terrazzo Workshop), we will this time create a bigger piece! You will still be able to create any colour chips and/or base you want while honing your skills making a beautiful terrazzo-pattern homeware piece.
In recent years, Jesmonite has become the go-to material for designers and artists looking for an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional resin based products. Originally used in the construction industry, Jesmonite is an acrylic-modified gypsum (plaster) composite that offers an eco-friendly and safe alternative to fibreglass, and provides a lightweight substitute to concrete.

The workshop will last approximately 3.5 hours and is broken down in 3 parts with a 30 minutes break in between each, which will allow your work to dry as well as provide us with the opportunity for a short natter over a coffee.

Aurélie, our resident terrazzo extraordinaire and founder of Aura Living will teach you all there is to know about this eco-resin material, its different applications, and show you some other homeware accessory examples we have been making using this great material. She will also show you how to achieve any colour chips and/or base you wish to make using primary colour pigments.

A little more about Aurélie…
“With a working background as an interior designer, I began my journey with traditional ceramic making 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. I discovered the world of eco-resin and its endless possibilities when I purchased a DIY kit to try it for myself. I fell in love with the process, the ease of use and little requirement for specialised equipment or space, while allowing you to create hardwearing homeware accessories using a wide range of techniques, including my most favourite; terrazzo!. 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.”
