Come and discover outstanding live music at the heart of our community.



  • A meal, a talk by Tim Blackburn and then a chance to see how moth traps are set up.

  • Moths are jewels of our natural heritage. They’re as beautiful as butterflies and as industrious as bees, yet lots of people I talk to seem to have an instinctive dislike of these insects. I will introduce you to the wonderful diversity of moths, which can be found even in the dark heart of the inner city. I will show how they can inform about how the natural world works, and explain why they are such important links in the web of life that includes you and me. Hopefully, by the end of the talk, you will have a little more appreciation of this amazing group of insects.

  • Professor Tim Blackburn is a scientist with thirty years of experience studying questions about the distribution, abundance and diversity of species in ecological communities. He is currently Professor of Invasion Biology at University College London, where his research focuses on alien species, and his teaching mainly involves leading field courses. Before that he was the Director of the Institute of Zoology, the research arm of the Zoological Society of London. Tim regularly reports the findings in his moth trap in Camden on his Bluesky feed: @MothyBlackburn.bsky.social



  • Join us at CSM library for a drop-in session where you can make your own badges and zines!

  • Let’s get creative and design badges and zines from found images or by creating our own. Materials will be provided at this drop-in session, just bring yourself!



  • This workshop is directly inspired by the method Johanna employs in her series of collaborative installations, ‘Penser, Manger, Partager’ (‘To Think, To Eat’ To Share’, 2015 – Present). Johanna will also share her experience growing and foraging plants responsibly.

  • It is an entry-level adult-only workshop, and no prior experience is required. The method can be repeated at home, with no additional material purchased other than what is found on most kitchen shelves.

  • All materials and a tea break will be provided.



26 Sept - Camden Inspire

  • Camden Inspire is a free annual community climate festival. This year, the theme is 'Gathering For Our Future' and we're bringing local residents together to imagine, discuss and build bold ideas and solutions in the face of the climate crisis. We'll be celebrating the amazing ideas and activities already taking place on our doorstep, having thoughtful conversations, and getting hands on to learn about and create our own climate solutions like a community shade structure to protect from extreme heat.



  • In this session, we will work with the plants around us to practice botanical illustration. The session will touch on techniques to accurately capture plants for scientific illustrations, as well as allow you to work freely to create drawings and designs inspired by the scenery, rather than just working to replicate it. We will explore plant properties and symbolism, working with the plants around us. You will have time to wander the gardens and find inspiration from your surrounding, sketching what captures your imagination.

  • This session will be untutored by life model and occult enthusiast, Rebecca Collins-Thompson. While it is a facilitated session with exercises and prompts, it is untutored by design, allowing your practice to be self-led and focusing on unlearning expectations around how you should approach your art to find pure creative expression.

  • Foraged tea from the garden will be provided alongside a light feast to be enjoyed in the break. In the spirit of communing, if you would like to bring a contribution to share with the group, such as fruit or a small dish, it would be very welcome.

  • Basic drawing materials (paper and graphite pencils), will be provided. Please feel free to bring a sketchbook if you prefer, and any more exciting materials you'd like to experiment with. This event will be going ahead whatever the weather, to connect with the earth in its natural state. If it looks like it will rain we will explore different materials such as wax crayons that work better in the wet weather, and use nature as our co-creator, for example playing with ink splatter and rain bleed. There is also a covered area in Edible Landscapes London where we can work with some protection. Make sure you are dressed for spending three hours outdoors.

  • If you have any questions please email esoteric.etchings@gmail.com.

  • Explore the world and possibilities of zines with an afternoon of collective learning and hands-on making.

  • Join artist and Poetic Pastel Press founder Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck for an immersive afternoon dedicated to zine culture and creative exploration.

  • This workshop will begin with a 45-minute illustrated talk and Q&A introducing the multiple reasons for and possibilities of zines as artistic, creative, poetic, and activist forms and as an accessible yet far reaching publishing practice. In the second part of the session, participants will create their own zine.
