​You can book a one on one session with me in the studio or hire me to facilitate for a group.

In the 15 years that I have been studying henna, I have amassed a bunch of information on resources (weeded out the false from the truth), and can coach you on where to find materials, the best links, where to get the FREE info that is accurate and can move you forward in your practice.

What to expect at your private session

This session is tailored and conversational. There is a syllabus of sorts which helps us stay organized.  We cover basics like: safety, paste mixing, cone rolling, a brief history,  geography and application techniques.
  • Come prepared to 'do' henna
  • All materials for the workshop are included
  • Receive a small design that demonstrates techniques
  • Take home a fresh cone for home practice
  • Additional materials and raw henna powder are available for purchase
Bring your list of questions and I will get you the answers. If I don't know the answer, I probably know where to find it - or which direction to point you. Together will help you set up a practice to improve your skills for fun and profit.

It is not unusual for people to book two sessions. The second session dives a little deeper into techniques, layouts, 'reading' a design.. It's best to sandwich session one and session two with practice.
