Nestled along the south-facing slopes of the North Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you'll find Badgells Wood, a stunning off-grid campsite and school of nature on a mission to inspire a love of the woods...
​
Badgells sings to my soul as it aligns perfectly with my beliefs and all that Wild Koru stands for. I am, therefore, extremely excited to be able to offer a a series of workshops here this summer.
With exclusive use of their beautiful parachute shelter I will guide you, this afternoon, in creating woodland-inspired watercolour paintings. Using beginner-friendly, loose and expressive techniques, you will learn how to capture the distinctive ancient fern, along with other common woodland plants. Please note that no art experience is necessary, as this workshop is about connecting with nature and yourself through creativity and the relaxing medium of watercolour. We'll be working with non~toxic, earth~friendly watercolour paints and sipping on tea or coffee as we listen to the sounds of the woods enveloping us. A perfect afternoon!
​
All art materials, coffee and a selection of teas, freshly brewed over a fire pit, are included in this workshop.
£30 per person
About Badgells Wood
These workshops are open to the general public, as well as those camping on-site, so you don't have to book a pitch in the woods, although I highly recommend it!
​
Badgells Wood are on a mission to inspire a love of the woods. They’ve created an experience as close to wild camping as possible. A chance to immerse yourselves in beautiful ancient woodland and allow nature, and the magic of the campfire, to send you home feeling healthy, energised and relaxed.
​
A stay at Badgells Wood is a chance to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with nature, with others and with yourself.
A place for creating lasting memories with your loved ones.
