Meet-a-Maker is a 30-minute session to have a one-on-one talk with artists currently working at Mediamatic. We are lucky to be inspired by the many artists who work and stay with us for exhibitions, residencies and workshops. We welcome you to meet them and be inspired as well!

About the Artist
Lynn Shore is a green witch, herbalist, and educator based in Amsterdam. Her work explores how people can reconnect with nature in urban environments through plants, observation, and everyday ritual.
With a background in science and special education, Lynn has spent over 25 years studying and practising herbalism, including training in the UK (Medical Herbalist) and the Netherlands (HBO Kruidengeneeskunde), alongside permaculture, horticultural therapy, and nature-based education. She has also worked for over two decades as a complementary therapist, bringing a holistic approach to wellbeing.

In 2010, she founded Urban Herbology, offering walks, workshops, and courses that help people engage with edible and medicinal plants in the city. She also initiated the River of Herbs community gardening project, supporting access to freely available food and medicine through urban growing.
Lynn is the author of The Green City Witch: Weaving a Magical Life in Urban Spaces, and teaches the Green City Witch course, where she guides students in developing a personal, grounded relationship with urban nature.
Her work brings together practical plant knowledge, folklore, and lived experience, encouraging a slower, more attentive way of relating to the natural world — even in the heart of the city.
She has a particular interest in supporting neurodiverse individuals through nature connection, herbal practice, and diet.

Topics
