Potions
Club
Aromatherapy & Natural Cosmetics Formulation Workshops
A small group. A beautiful space. Real ingredients, real knowledge, and things you actually made yourself. Where curiosity meets craft — and where you leave with far more than you arrived with.

Small groups — spaces kept deliberately limited
Led by Lindsey Brookes
You leave with everything you make
THE EXPERIENCE
Not just a workshop.
An apothecary afternoon.
If you ever made rose petal perfume as a child and felt deeply let down by the results — this is everything that should have been. Potions Club is our regular hands-on workshop where a small group of people get together to blend essential oils, formulate natural skincare, make genuinely effective home remedies, and create beautifully luxurious handmade products.
The difference is the knowledge underneath it all. Lindsey explains the why behind every ingredient — how it works, what it does, and why you would choose it over something else — so you leave understanding what you are doing, not just how to follow a recipe.
Think of it less like a class and more like an afternoon in a very well-stocked, beautifully fragrant apothecary with someone who knows exactly what she is doing and loves sharing it.

Your Host
"I want everyone who comes to Potions Club to leave understanding why things work — not just how to follow a recipe. That knowledge changes how you see every product you will ever use."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Things people usually ask
Do I need any experience or prior knowledge to come?
None at all. Potions Club is designed to be genuinely welcoming to complete beginners — Lindsey explains everything from the ground up, including the reasoning behind every ingredient. Many regular Potioneers came to their first session knowing nothing about essential oils and left feeling like they had discovered something entirely new.
Is Potions Club a professional training qualification?
No — Potions Club is a creative, educational workshop for enthusiasts and home practitioners. It is not accredited professional training. If you are interested in qualifying as a therapist or aromatherapist, Lindsey also offers fully accredited professional training courses. Just ask at the end of a session, or get in touch via the website.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself. All materials, equipment, and ingredients are provided. Wear clothes you do not mind getting the occasional drop of oil on — it is unlikely, but oils are present. You will want a bag to carry home everything you have made.
How many people are in each session?
Numbers are kept deliberately small so that everyone has the right amount of space, ingredients, attention, and time. This is not a large-group workshop — it is an intimate, relaxed, genuinely enjoyable experience.
How often does Potions Club run?
Sessions run regularly throughout the year — around 4-5 times a year — each with a seasonal theme. New dates are shared with the community list first, so joining the list is the best way to secure a place before they fill up.
Where is it held, and is there parking?
All sessions are held at ReCoop Health, Aston Road, Abbey Green, Nuneaton CV11 5DT. There is free parking directly outside. The venue has full disabled access and is a ten-minute walk from Nuneaton train station.
