This special intensive workshop provides the rare opportunity to be immersed in the world of making bath & body products (from scratch) for 4 days. During the series, we'll cover 17 different products. You'll learn to make lotions & creams (from scratch), tub treats like fizzing bath bombs & herbal tub tea, 3 types of body butters (traditional, solid massage bars & exfoliating butter scrubs), 3 types of all-natural perfumes (alcohol-based, oil-based roll-ons, and solids), botanical bath salts & oil-based traditional salt body scrubs, 3 types of spa facial products (cleansing grains, facial steaming herbs & clay/herb masks), and melt & pour soap. This intensive is ideal for out-of-town students or those who live near by who would rather take as many classes as they can in a short period of time. This workshop is limited to 14 students and must be purchased as a series.
