This is a hands-on class that will teach you the basics of cold process soap making. Diana Ford of Sweet Butter Soaps by Li'l Bit Farms will walk participants through one regular batch of soap, and then through a trickier batch with goat milk. You'll go home with gloves, goggles, 2 pounds of soap, and a new skill! Class fee is $65.00 per person. Call to make payment and reserve your seat; (719) 358-8510. Walk-ins are not guaranteed a seat, and a Facebook RSVP is not a confirmed reservation.
Learn how to make all of these products in your kitchen with simple ingredients you can pronounce! During this class you will experience the simplicity and fun of making your own body products at home. Handouts and recipes are included and each participant will receive one of each product created in class. The retail value of those items alone is nearly $15! Class fee is $25.00 per person. Call to make payment and reserve your seat; (719) 358-8510. Walk-ins are not guaranteed a seat, and a Facebook RSVP is not a confirmed reservation.
Make your own mushroom grow kit using obtainable sources to fruit gourmet mushrooms in a single-use vessel. Organic byproducts like coffee grounds and materials like cardboard are often perceived as waste but they are actually foods mushrooms can be produced from.
You'll also be able to make and take home your own spawn to inoculate other substrates. These methods close loops by "repurposing" waste and thereby reducing what might otherwise be sent to the landfill; are easy to repeat at home and contribute to one's food security. Class fee is $30.00 per person. Call to make payment and reserve your seat; (719) 358-8510. Walk-ins are not guaranteed a seat, and a Facebook RSVP is not a confirmed reservation.
