Spring Herbal Series: Herbal Salve Making
March 24, 2026 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm EDT
Taught by Rebecca Hein
Learn to make herbal infused oils and salves! Herbs can be applied topically, as oils or salves, to support skin, muscle and joins, paint relief, and used as first aid. We will discuss how to prepare an herb for oil extraction and demonstrate how to transform an infused oil into a healing salve. We will make an herbal salve together in class and each participant will receive a container to take home.
Limited spots available. Registration with a $10 refundable deposit is required to hold your place. Donations recommended on a sliding scale of $0 – 30; no one will be turned away for lack of funds
Access: The workshop series is held on the second floor of the NATURE Lab building, which is currently only accessible by a flight of stairs. If stairs will present a barrier to attending the workshop please get in touch ([email protected]) in case we can accommodate your participation in another way.
