Plymouth School District Community Education & Recreation is offering three classes with herbalist and forager Linda Conroy of Moonwise Herbs this autumn!
This fun, comprehensive soap-making class will cover the myriad ways to add herbs to soap, as well as how to make a creamy, moisturizing farm-fresh bar of goat milk soap. Class will cover the qualities of herbs to add for their healing and moisturizing qualities, as well as three approaches to soap making: hot process, cold process, and hand milling. In addition to making soap, participants also will learn to felt soap and to add loofah sponges for exfoliation as well as additional nourishing skin qualities. Participants will leave with many bars of soap to cure at home, a recipe guide, and skills for a lifetime.
