Looking for creative, handmade gift ideas for the holiday season? Something natural, nourishing, and memorable? This workshop will be divided into smaller groups to experience both glycerin soap-making and custom herbal tea blending.
In this interactive workshop, we will cover the basics of natural soapmaking, using earth-safe alternatives to the chemical-laden commercially produced soaps. We will discuss the basics of cold- and hot- process soapmaking including safety measures, supply lists, and explore the natural oils, butters, and fats used in soapmaking. We will then experiment with melt-and-pour glycerin soap-making. Here, participants will get to customize bars of soap with things like natural colors, dried flowers, and more. Each participant will leave having made their own creation, which will cure overnight, be gift-wrapped by our team, and be ready for pick-up the following afternoon.
Switching gears to herbal tea making, participants will join in learning the medicinal properties of some of our favorite herbs grown on the farm. We will talk in detail about each herb separately, and then practice combining leaves, petals, roots, and seeds for a lovely brew that tastes delicious and supports our bodies, minds, and spirits. Each participant will leave with a custom herbal tea blend and the knowledge to create more in the future.
