A Winter Gathering
by The Venetian Pantry
Join me in an intimate East London studio to celebrate the launch of the second chapter of La Collezione, my collection of artisanal homewares.
Over two days (7–8 November), discover the work of new makers from Italy and the UK, alongside the return of familiar names and much-loved pieces from the collection.
Expect an art exhibition, botanical workshops, a new room fragrance and a cup of something warming, straight from an old Italian apothecary.
Everyone is welcome.
Hope to see you there!
Workshop:
Make your own Botanical Bath Salts
Saturday 7 November
Two 1-hour sessions: 11 am, 2 pm
Explore the botanicals
Discover the properties and traditional uses of seasonal botanicals – from mineral-rich salts, natural clays, dried flowers, herbs and essential oils. Experiment with different fragrances and combinations to create a bespoke blend inspired by your personal preferences.
Meet your host
Guided by Abi Titterington Lough, founder of 20A Aromatherapy, explore the art of botanical blending in a relaxed and intimate setting. Drawing on her knowledge of aromatherapy and natural ingredients, Abi will guide you through the process of creating your own bath salts, sharing insights into the therapeutic properties of plants and the rituals of everyday wellbeing.
Your workshop includes:
- An introduction to seasonal botanicals, their aromatic properties and traditional uses.
- A warming herbal tea tasting, featuring a botanical infusion by Italian makers Inedito Lab.
- All natural ingredients, materials and equipment.
- Your own bespoke botanical bath salts in a 500ml amber glass jar, to enjoy as a restorative bath or foot soak.
