If you or someone you know will be spending any time in the Boone area this winter, why not have our team guide your friends or family through the soap or candle or lip balm making process? You can come to us, or we can pack up our supplies and come to you! Check out the workshop options below, then email us at vclavenderhouse@gmail.com for a quote.
Aromatherapy
In this workshop you will learn about the wellness benefits of some of the world's most popular and powerful essential oils. Learn how to blend individual essences to create a balanced fragrance, and discover your own perfect blend. Take home your own all natural spritzer or perfume and a recipe you can use again and again.
Candles
Candles are much easier to make than many people think. In this workshop you will learn to make all natural soy-based candles scented with essential oils. Choose from a variety of colors and scents and take home three candles for yourself, or to give away as the perfect creative gift.
Personal Care: Lotion or Lip Balm
Most of us use moisturizers on a daily basis, either settling for mass-produced synthetic products, or paying more for natural brands. Using tools and supplies that can be found in your very own kitchen, learn to make your own all natural lotion or lip balm. Personalize your self-care products with your favorite essential oils. At the end of this workshop you will take home one bottle of lotion or several tubes of lip balm, and an easy recipe.
Soap
Learn to make your own all natural soap! In this workshop we will cover the scientific side of soaps, and how to mix scents to create your ideal fragrance. We will age your soap here at the Lavender House and send it to you when it’s ready for use. Breathe in a little bit of Valle Crucis every time you wash your hands.
Tea Blending
Tea is one of the simplest and easiest ways to incorporate plants and flowers into your self-care routine. Join us for a workshop dedicated to discovering delightful and healing herbal tea blends. Taste a variety of our favorite tea recipes made from ingredients found in the Lavender House gardens, learn about the properties of different herbs, and take home your own personalized blend.
