Ditch single-use plastic! Make your own beeswax wrap, master mason jars & swap easy kitchen tips. Leave with a wrap you made yourself.
About this Event

Plastic wrap, zip-lock bags, and single-use packaging get used more than a lot of us would like. In this hands-on class, we'll explore simple, affordable alternatives you can make and use right at home.

Together we'll make beeswax wraps from scratch, learn the art of the mason jar, and swap ideas for reducing plastic in your kitchen. You'll leave with a wrap you made yourself and a handful of easy ideas to put to use right away.

We will have fabric available, but feel free to bring your own with you. Thinner 100% cotton fabrics work best and is compostable! Due to time and space restraints, there is a limit of 1 wrap per attendee.
