THE MONDAY
HERB CLUB
A new monthly herbal gathering in Devizes offers a welcoming space for anyone interested in learning more about the medicinal and traditional uses of plants. Held every third Monday of the month at The Grange, this relaxed and informal herb club is led by medical herbalists Karen Richmond and Katherine Ivy Baldock (MNIMH). Each session focuses on a single herb, exploring its historical uses alongside current research. The sessions run from 7:00–8:30pm and are open to everyone, regardless of prior knowledge. People are invited to enjoy a cup of herbal tea while engaging in discussion and shared learning in a friendly, supportive environment. The group is free to attend, with optional donations welcomed.
Designed as a community-centred space for curiosity and connection, the herb club provides an accessible and enjoyable way to deepen knowledge of plant medicine and everyday wellbeing.

Dwelling with Plants: Plant-Person Entanglement
The workshop uses plant infusions as a research tool, inviting participants to attune to where and how plants are experienced in the body. Through individual and group organoleptic inquiry, the session investigates herbs not as fixed material structures but as active, dynamic matter — co-collaborators in a shared investigative process. Rooted in methods drawn from herbalist training, the workshop draws on sensory feedback and felt experience to explore the interconnections between plants and human processes. It brings together medical herbalism, environmental archaeology, primary care mental health and artistic practice in a shared experiment that situates embodied knowledge at the centre of creative research. The session engages with questions of materiality, care, ecology, distributed agency and the space of dialogue — considering how herbal practice might offer new frameworks for practice-based research.
Doing together is an annual two-day making and sharing practice symposium, hosted by the Art Research Centre (Bath School of Art, Film and Media) in collaboration with the Centre of Cultural and Creative Industries. It's a platform to connect staff, students, and the community through making, collaboration, and experimentation.
Join BSU for workshops delivered by staff and postgraduate research students from across the University, sharing practice-based research methods and diverse approaches to creative practice. Throughout the symposium, facilitators and participants work together to make practice-based research explicit through doing, rather than simply describing it.
This year's event offers a generous space to make, do, share, and discuss practice with colleagues from across different Schools. The symposium concludes with a plenary discussion led by external speakers Dr Nicky Sim and Jo Addison.
The symposium is open to anyone interested in creative practice research.
