Byron Bay School of Henna was started by Oriel Paterson who has over 16 years experience as a henna artist and owner of Henna Harem in Byron Bay.

Working with Ilona Harker, who has 7 years experience as a henna artist, the team will teach the fundamentals of henna paste from mixing the natural plant, all the way to design construction and history.

Each work shop is 2 1/2 hours and all equipment is provided.

It’s a fun and relaxed workshop that honours the cultural significance of henna in a modern, safe environment.

Sunshine on Splendour
Sunshine on Splendour 150 150 oriel

Like an opium den of self indulgence, people come to the Henna Harem to experiment, to mark, to symbolise and celebrate. They wait, they stay, they laugh and then leave with a beautiful stain, a strong memory and a few new friends.

SITG2013

 

After years earning its endearing side name of “splendour in the mud”, this years epic event looks set for clear skies.

SITG2013-4

 

This year we’ll be hanging out in the badass back corner of the festival near the bonfire, the drive-in and the MixUp Stage.

Splendour In The Grass
Splendour In The Grass 150 150 oriel

Once again, a sold-out event in its Byron Bay homeland, Splendour In The Grass is set to be a blast.

A little nurturing and recovery time out where crystal-chandeliers, drapes, cushions, flowers and gallery lights give a sense of lush and decadence.  Relax while being adorned.

Returning to the Middle Ages
Returning to the Middle Ages 150 150 oriel

Our henna stall has attended the Abbey Medieval Tournament since 2004 providing a traditional henna experience to those visiting Abbeystowe.

Our henna paste is made fresh using natural ingredients. Over the weekend we create traditional designs from Medieval Europe, Persia, Africa, India and Egypt.

Information boards are displayed for public interest with henna use and design trends during the Middle Ages, as well as a long list of countries using henna between 600 and 1600 AD.

We love coming to the Abbey Medieval Tournament in pursuit of fun, inspiration and historical excellence!

In 2014, this event is on 12th & 13th July.
