Nature Walk & Flower Printing

Nature Walk & Flower Printing

Join us for a spring walk in Hampstead Heath. Take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful nature trails and learn about the local flora and fauna. After the walk, get creative with hapa-zome, a Japanese flower printing activity.

What to expect:

• Connection: A chance to create, share and reflect with others and nature.

• Relaxation: Unwind and connect as we observe, listen, smell, feel and taste our way through Hampstead Heath.

• Create & Reflect: Engage with nature through a immersive activity and explore what emerges through the creative process.
