Messy Mixology Hands-On Workshop
JUNE 18th 12:30 to 3:00PM SOLD OUT!
cost per person $75
a "make your own" hands-on class
we begin by making grandma duross' old original eye cream formula from scratch. fire up the stove because we are melting and blending natural oils and nut butters. then we add deionized water and attempt to whip into the perfect frothy, creamy moisturizer without getting any on the walls.
then it's onto luscious lip balms and deliciously edible lip scrubs for sale in the store (and for you to take home). it's a fairly straightforward task as long as we don't burn the oils or spill when pouring.
we close the evening by creating your personal, customized jar of double butter moisturizer complete with extracts, natural additives and fragrance oils. you can get as creative as you like with this one plus you'll have bragging rights when your friends try your swag.
- coffee, tea and light refreshments will be served -
unlike many classes and workshops available, our vibe is a bit different. you will be working on the line producing the product to be sold in store. it is not appropriate for anyone who has mobility issues or cannot easily lift at least 25 lbs. we request that you dress for the mess as you will be diving into colors, oils and extracts that will stain (ruin) your clothing. this workshop is approximately 2.5 hours in length.
this is a 16+ age event and is inappropriate for younger children. *we require attendees in the workshop to be sober and responsible. no cancellations or refunds

the soap base you'll be working with is vegan, pre-made and melted so that you can focus on the fun, creative part of the craft that we know as melt and pour. you will also have the opportunity to create a few simple bars of your own that reflect your style, esthetic and aroma palette. fragrance oils, extracts and additives will be made available so that you can get creative. the individual bars you make will go home with you
