Weirding Sustainability

In this two-day event series, we explore the potential for weirding sustainability; going beyond conventional discourses that reproduce business-as-usual, to ask: What does global weirding mean for us as researchers and creative practitioners? How might a weirding of our own imaginations and practices spark more radical and meaningful change?

Plant-powered beauty routines

Thu 19 February

Botanic Garden

Transform your skin care with plant power! Discover how to use ordinary plant-based ingredients to enhance your daily beauty routine and create sample masks straight from the kitchen larder to soothe, nourish and rejuvenate your skin. During this class we’ll also make our own nourishing, healing and luxurious lip balms, a facial moisturiser with added precious essential oils to nourish the skin, and a gentle skin cleanser. These will all be made from plant-based ingredients (plus a little beeswax) and packaged in eco-friendly tins. There will be information on how to care for your skin and plenty of fun and laughter guaranteed – a great way to spend a day with like-minded friends. You’ll take home a lip balm, a cleansing cream and a moisturiser.

No previous experience necessary.

Cost: £90
