NOURISH YOUR-SALVES

Salve Making Workshop

Presented by Food Culture, in partnership with Common Joy Studios

An afternoon of connection and creation.

Join us at Food Culture for a gentle, hands-on salve-making workshop led by Chelsea, creator of Common Joy Studios.

We’ll gather around the table to explore the ingredients and process behind making a simple herbal salve, learning from Chelsea as we create together. Each guest will make their own salve to take home, along with the knowledge and recipe to continue making at home.

This workshop is about more than the finished jar. It’s an opportunity to slow down, work with our hands, learn from someone in our community and spend an afternoon connecting with one another.

We’ll begin with time to arrive, settle in and share a cup of cacao before moving into the salve-making workshop. Afterwards, there’ll be space to stay, mingle, ask questions and explore the ingredients used in the workshop.
