HuqThat Henna Workshops

Cinnamon, eucalyptus and the slow unfurling of vines on skin.

The women behind HuqThat treat henna as both art and story. Their workshops – held in museums and community spaces across London – teach how to mix paste, roll cones and draw the fluid lines of traditional and contemporary mehndi. Alongside technique you learn the history and cultural significance of henna, sharing stories over cups of chai while your designs dry. It's a welcoming space that honours henna's roots and invites everyone to create their own patterns with respect and joy.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
