In this hands-on experience where you will:
All materials will be provided. We recommend bringing your own rubber gloves and clothes than can be—especially if you have allergies or sensitivities to textures or pigments—as handling natural dyes and ink can stain nails. Please also wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty, as activities involve working with natural materials and pigments.
This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature’s resources, explore ancestral arts, and develop your own creative practice.
You can also pay for your participation using Smartum, Edenred, or ePassi benefits. Make the payment through the SmartumPay, MyEdenred, or ePassi app by searching for the venue ”Anna Nyman” and selecting the amount (e.g., €40 or €45 for the wild herb course, €45 for the mushroom course, or €65 for the herbal cosmetics course). Send a screenshot of the payment to info@annanyman.fi, and I will reserve a spot for you in the course of your choice. Note! Please check that there is availability in the course before making the payment. The benefit cannot be used for courses at Nurmijärven opisto, Vantaan opisto, or Slow Food Helsinki courses.
Looking for the perfect gift for your nature loving friends, family members or colleagues? Give them an unforgettable adventure experience in the beautiful Finnish nature and the opportunity to learn about the tasty, pure and health edible wild herbs or mushrooms.

”Public access rights, or so-called everyone’s rights, refer to the right of everyone in Finland to enjoy outdoor pursuits regardless of who owns or occupies an area. You do not need the landowner’s permission, and there is no charge. However, you must not damage the environment or disturb others while exercising public access rights.” – Ministry of the Environment
