For Heiter Society members (from GBP27/month) and paid Substack members (from GBP7/month) only.

Join Java Bere for a dip into her workshop ‘Tell the Story of Your Home.’ Together we will look at how the spaces we inhabit shift with the seasons, what we all need from our spaces in Autumn and Winter, and how we can reflect this, through practical tasks, creative play and styling prompts.

What to bring along:

• A notebook and pen.

• Something sensory that reminds you of happy childhood memories of Autumn/Winter. It can be anything: a blanket, a candle, a twig from the garden, a basket, a tin of soup! It doesn’t need to be aesthetically pleasing, it’s more about what the subject evokes in you.

More about Java:

Java Bere is a writer, artist, table and home stylist. Together with her partner Jon, their two boys, and a cat called Nutmeg, she lives in a gorgeous Hebden Bridge (West Yorkshire) family home that is full of character and filled with stories. The stories told through that home represent and are inspired by their life together but also Java’s upbringing: She grew up between London, Scotland, France, and Spain, finally ending up in Manchester for fifteen years, where she worked as an actress and later as a theatre agent. All those glorious places shaped her as a person as well as her current work and aesthetic.
