Join Beth Bridgeman, a full-time maker and weaver from Yellow Springs, Ohio in two unique workshop offerings this spring!.  Her expansive knowledge of land-based (nature-centered) making, crafting and life skills will guide participants and challenge them as they learn new skills and craft beautiful creations by hand. Sign up for one or both of these programs! 

April's workshop will focus on cold-pressed soap making. We will learn to make soap through cold processing, using lye and fat to build our bars as well as essential oils and natural colorants. Participants will walk away with 8 - 10 bars of gentle, natural and handmade soap along with information, history and the confidence to make your own soap at home. All materials are included. Light refreshments will be provided.
