Byron Bay School of Henna was started by Oriel Paterson who has over 16 years experience as a henna artist and owner of Henna Harem in Byron Bay.

Working with Ilona Harker, who has 7 years experience as a henna artist, the team will teach the fundamentals of henna paste from mixing the natural plant, all the way to design construction and history.

Each work shop is 2 1/2 hours and all equipment is provided.

It’s a fun and relaxed workshop that honours the cultural significance of henna in a modern, safe environment.

Returning to the Middle Ages
Returning to the Middle Ages 150 150 oriel

Our henna stall has attended the Abbey Medieval Tournament since 2004 providing a traditional henna experience to those visiting Abbeystowe.

Our henna paste is made fresh using natural ingredients. Over the weekend we create traditional designs from Medieval Europe, Persia, Africa, India and Egypt.

Information boards are displayed for public interest with henna use and design trends during the Middle Ages, as well as a long list of countries using henna between 600 and 1600 AD.

We love coming to the Abbey Medieval Tournament in pursuit of fun, inspiration and historical excellence!

In 2014, this event is on 12th & 13th July.

Byron Bay Market
Byron Bay Market 150 150 oriel

The markets are now located in Byron’s town centre, focused around the railway area. Henna Harem is found under a big old melaleuca tree next to the railway line – pretty much in line with the Northern Hotel but behind Jonson St – accessed by the graffiti walkway. Look for the little caravan!

The markets spread along part of the main street and all the way behind the station and grassy railway line – it’s a great space to explore.
