Fire and Water Sundries just moved from the Frieghthouse Square to its new location (711 St. Helens, Tacoma, (253) 272-4255) and now is the time to help keep this important shop in business. They are just down the street from Tully's. While they sell handmade candles, soaps, potpourri, bulk herbs, bath salts, and one of a kind gifts, they also feature the following classes (their words):
Learn to treat your pet's health issues holistically with herbs. From fleas to anxiety. Herbs can do it all. Even acupuncture. Take home a variety of healing herbs for your pet.
Tired of using potpourri that you cannot identify? Learn to construct an herbal potpourri filled with botanicals that not only smell good but also are good for your home and pets!
Tuesday we will learn the techniques, types of wax materials used to produce candles. Thursday each student will produce their own candle using the techniques learned.
We'll cover all the ways to brew herbs from teas to decoctions. From roots to flowers. How we can use brews every day to enrich our bodies and lives. You will take home the brew you develop.
A comprehensive lecture/make 'n take course. We will learn the different types of oils used to construct massage/bath oil and the long list of essential oils, which can be used for aromatherapy. Take home your finished oil.
Learn the techniques of designing and building herbal incense. From the herbs to the planets, all things are integral to the success of an herbal blend. Cleansing your home, office or spiritual space is important. Make 'n take a blend home.
